The Production / Creation / Administration (PCA) program is a practical arts management and creative producing course designed for artists and producers in the independent scene. It is aimed at anyone who wants to dive deep into project management for artists and administrative practice in the performing arts—whether for their own artistic work, within a collective, or as an emerging production manager.
Whether dance, theatre, circus, music, performance, curatorial practice, or interdisciplinary formats: this theatre production course and training in Berlin equips you with essential tools for creative producing, funding, and cultural administration. Working with real-world case studies from our sister program CCA, you will accompany projects from initial concept and funding application to final presentation.
Regular tutorials with program leadership ensure personalized guidance and reflection. Additionally, the program connects you directly with established advisory and funding structures across the independent performing arts scene in Berlin and Europe.
This program is an ideal creative producing and arts administration course for individuals who want to work professionally in production and project management within the performing or interdisciplinary arts.
We welcome applicants looking for more than just a single day-seminar—those seeking a format that connects all aspects of project management for artists in a clear, practical way while helping them develop their own tools and approaches.
You are a great fit for the program if you want to:
Planning, project administration, and execution of interdisciplinary performance and art projects in the independent scene.
Optionally, participants can take part in selected training courses from the Dance and Physical Theater Educational Year programs.
These complement continuing education with additional physical practice and provide insights into further movement and teaching approaches.
Have you been self-employed full-time for at least two years and are looking for support for your continuing education?
Then you may be able to benefit from the KOMPASS funding program of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs in cooperation with the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+).
We are happy to assist you with the application process.
