Curatorial Leadership and Management

The course Curatorial Practices in Music Part II takes place annually from September to January and focuses on the strategies, working methods and practical tools you need to make your wildest ideas come into fruition.

What do you need to be able to assess the feasibility of a project? How do you convince potential stakeholders of the value... no, the necessity of your project? How do you find good partners, and how do you find an audience? How can you present your plans in a balanced budget proposal that attracts and convinces potential funders?

This intensive course works like a pressure cooker. Every week you will be increasing your knowledge and opportunities by listening to and learning from the stories and practical experience of people who know the ropes. In the meantime, you will work on your own project plan, specifying all the significant parts of your idea and their practical implementation. By doing so, you learn how to boost your plan step by step in the face of obstinate reality. The result is reflected in a final project plan about a project of your choosing, whose structure can also serve as a guide or outline for potential future curatorial projects.
