Teaching Workshop
A.Y. 2019/2020
Learning objectives
The course of the workshop develops in steps from the ideation to the realization of an artistic project in the music sector, with a focus on sustainability and consistency between artistic content and organizational modes. Programming, management, distribution and communication are addressed through the deepening of specific issues, the study of real cases and documents (co-production contract, artistic writing contract, budget, communication plan, etc.) and short tutorials. The direct experiential talks of the workshop's guest sector operators offer an additional opportunity for comparison with the professional world.
Expected learning outcomes
The expected result is in particular the change in the student's approach to artistic planning: from a user of musical performances to a young professional aware of the overall strategic horizon and specific issues.
