ASSISTANCES
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.
CURRENTLY
For the period from April 21 to July 18, 2025, artFAQ is advertising for a production assistant in cooperation with Cie E1NZ .
Describing the Swiss artist duo E1NZ in just a few words is not that easy. Esther and Jonas Slanzi do not fit into any category. The two performance artists combine speed and lightness, acrobatics, tricks and theater across all genres.
The main tasks of the production assistant are in the areas of communication, diffusion, conception and project management. You accompany the E1NZ company in rehearsals and before and after the premiere of their fourth piece "never enough". The premiere of "never enough" will take place on June 26, 2025 in Winterthur.
