Description

After the success of our first course at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, we are now repeating this workshop at BIRMINGHAM REPERTORY THEATRE, Broad St, Birmingham on Saturday 21 November 2009.

Many arts funders and organisations are now encouraging artists to 'have a go' at mounting their own work and in effect become their own producers.  But what is a Producer - what do they do and how do you become one?  And over the last few years a new title has come about - the Creative Producer. But what is really involved?  This unique and acclaimed seminar was born of a need for Producer training in the UK. It will look at everything needed to put on a show or start a production or theatre company, from the local pub, to a national tour, to the West End of London. It will also touch on film and TV opportunities.

Where do you start?  What is the difference between a Creative Producer and a 'normal' Producer?  Where do Artistic Directors fit in?  And actors and writers? What about Finance, the law, choice of plays or musicals? Then there's employing actors, working with creatives, commissioning new works, copyright, contracts, fundraising, investing in theatre, parties and pitfalls!
