Collective reflection workshop
Finding solutions to recruitment problems for administration-production-distribution
Published on 15 November 2024
Thursday, January 23, 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm, Mucem, Esplanade du J4, 13002 Marseille
There are not enough people willing to work in administration, production, and distribution in the performing arts, as both venues and companies are sorely lacking in applicants. Why are these professions so unattractive? What are the issues behind this difficulty in recruitment?
Following an overview of the issues involved in this staffing crisis and a more general discussion of the question of work, a workshop will be held. Drawing on the situation in participants’ own organizations and companies and using the circus as a metaphor, the workshop will aim to come up with possible solutions that will enable a better understanding and support of these “creative backbone” professions.
An understanding of French will improve your experience at this group workshop.
