Creative Producing II

Catalog description

In this course we will build from the skills introduced in PAPE 285 : Indie Producing, using a hands-on approach which will introduce students to resources available to them within New York City. The course will be paired with an internship working alongside either a production company in NYC or a performing festival. The course will take students from examining producing in theory in PAPE 285 to being in the field. Students will get familiar with Materials for the Arts, study to become Fireguards, compile and investigate both rehearsal and performance venues in NYC, familiarize themselves with the Parks Department in NYC and building work outdoors, study how to apply to both national and international festivals, and familiarize themselves with the process of loading a show in and out of a venue in NYC. Building off the knowledge established in PAPE 285 , this course gives students the hands-on tools and confidence to serve as creative producers in the field.
