Production management is a profession that requires very broad knowledge which is often acquired practically. artFAQ supports the first career steps of future production managers with a practice-oriented, mentored assistant programme. For the assistant programme, artFAQ collaborates with theatres and festivals in the city or canton of Zürich.

 

By working with an experienced production manager, the production assistant gains an overview of the most important production-related topics - from the initial concept to financing to project completion. In parallel, artFAQ mentors the assistant and supplements the practical experience with various theoretical inputs.

​

The assistant programme can take many forms, depending on the project and partner institution. It usually lasts eight to twelve weeks with a 50% workload, and it is paid.
