DVD Content & Participants
Following on from the hugely successful "Getting Started in the Performing Arts Industry" we bring you another unique, DVD resource, packed full of the latest information from the top people in the industry.
As actors and Associate Lecturers we realised that students were finding it difficult to gather the correct information on the different job roles and venues within the performing arts industry. We also understand how important it is to have a good knowledge of how the industry works as a business and have an understanding of other job roles within Performing Arts.
Through our contacts within the industry we have put together this educational resource that will explain different job roles and venues (receiving houses, producing houses, touring companies). The DVD also includes separate sections on the following topics: health and safety, contracts, marketing, budgets, licences, programming, props, facilities and target audience. We have also included a section full of advice and information on how the people working in certain job roles got to where they are today, how they trained and what their working life entails.
Through the filming of this DVD we realised that job titles differed from venue to venue depending on budgets and staffing levels. Within this DVD we have defined the different job roles and venues as clearly as possible to aid students with their research into the performing arts industry as a whole. Interviews Include:-
