Call for applications - SPACE looking for programmers DEADLINE POSTPONED
IETM News - Europe - posted by IETM on 30.11.09
SPACE, which IETM is a partner of, is providing a mobile European training programme for professionals who are programming performing arts within festivals and/or venues and who want to deepen their knowledge and analyse and improve their recent and future work.
The organisers are looking for 33 individuals who will be divided into 3 separate groups. Each group will undergo a training programme made up of 2 sessions (each lasting 4 days) and taking place in 2 European countries.
The participants will analyse their role/attitude/identity as programmers, their position in the regional/social/political context, their position as mediator between the artists and the audience and develop visions and ideas to improve the circulation and presentation of performing art in Europe.
Each group will have one moderator who will follow up the sessions, participate in the discussions and support the trainees in developing their visions, and deepening their perception of the role of a programmer, with the support of an experienced programmer (a director of a venue or a festival), who will participate at specific “hot items” two days per session, and also throughout the contribution of other professionals or personalities.
In addition they will be offered the chance to get to know different forms of performing arts festivals and theatres, built up or consolidate their network on a European level.
More information on SPACE's website, or in the guidelines and the application form downloadable below. The initoial deadline has been extended to January 24, 2010!
