Job offer | Production manager
The Festival Quartiers Danses (FQD) aims to democratize contemporary dance in all its forms and hybridities by making it more accessible to all audiences, indoors, in unusual places such as museums and in urban contexts. The FQD offers shows presented by mainly local artists, but also national and international artists. It adopts a multidisciplinary approach to creative dance through the dissemination of shows, performances, installations, films, exhibitions, meetings, round tables and finally cultural mediation workshops.
The FQD is looking for a person to fill the position of production manager. This position is closely linked to the artistic and general management, the administrative management and the communications and cultural mediation departments. You will participate in the organization of the festival in its entirety and you will have the chance to meet the artists of the FQD, its external service providers and to work in collaboration with all the members of the FQD team in a good mood and listening.
