pulling you back -- not enough funds, not enough audience, not enough time from your group...
and the list goes on...
Then SMART is for you!
So register today for SMART in Kolkata!
Deadline for registration is on or before Tuesday, February 11, 2020
SMART is Strategic Management in the Art of Theatre, a collaborative initiative, managed by
India Foundation for the Arts and Junoon.
Why SMART?
As a theatre group, we have a vision and dreams, passion and commitment. What we often find challenging is being able to create a practical roadmap that will help us realise these dreams.
SMART is a three-day workshop that seeks to sharpen the thinking and working processes of theatre groups. The programme poses questions and possibilities that will push groups to consider how you might optimise your strengths, overcome constraints and make a significant and positive impact on the internal functioning of your group as well as impact your local theatre ecology.
The workshop includes sessions on -
- Vision, Mission and Core Values (Why you do what you do)
- Group Sustainability
- Audience Development
- Communication
- Resource Management
- Strategic Management
What is special about SMART?
SMART builds on the experience and knowledge within the theatre community, while also drawing upon international learnings and experience to add strength and value to our theatre-making. It is facilitated by some of the country's leading theatre makers and arts managers, and, is the first programme especially tailored for the needs of theatre in India.
SMART is coming to Kolkata, in association with Jana Sanskriti Centre for Theatre of the Oppressed!
The facilitators for this workshop are -
