Atelier for Young Festival Managers – Open Call for Application launched!
Do you belong to the next-generation of artistic festival directors?
Do you feel the need to widen your horizons, broaden your programming skills and get inspired by colleagues and experienced forerunners?
We are delighted to announce the launch of the Open Call for Application for two editions of the Atelier for Young Festival Managers in 2011:
• SINGAPORE 2011: the first Atelier for Young Festival Managers in Asia, from 14-21 May 2011, Singapore
• IZMIR 2011: the third Atelier for Young Festival Managers in Europe from 24-31 October 2011, Izmir/Turkey
Mission of the Atelier:
The Atelier – initiated by the European Festivals Association – is guided by the motto “Car le vrai rôle d'un festival est d'aider les artistes à oser, à entreprendre des projets,” borrowed from Bernard Faivre d'Arcier, longstanding Director of the Avignon Festival.
It is an intense and rigorous one week training platform addressed at emerging artistic festival directors or those who have ambitions to become involved in programming or in programming-related departments within a festival. It is all about formulating experiences and passing on knowledge to a next (new) generation of festival makers: knowledge about the arts, artists and festival formulas, thematically focusing on the very essence of arts festivals: the art and the artist.
Format:
Each Atelier brings together 45 festival managers from all over the world. Distinguished festival directors including Bernard Faivre d’Arcier, Rose Fenton, Goh Ching Lee, Hugo De Greef and Nele Hertling, together with well selected, renowned, festival pioneers coming in for at least 2 days guide the work throughout the week. In lectures, one-to-one talks, group discussions as well as intense workshops about case studies, participants discuss issues touching upon artistic vision, political and social responsibility, internationalisation, networking, renewal and sustainability.
Application procedure and deadlines:
• for Singapore until 17 December 2010
• for Izmir until 7 February 2011
In case of further questions please contact atelier@efa-aef.eu or call +32 9 241 8080.
