Let's talk about money
for acting, music, conducting, stage and directing

 

People talk about art all the time - let's talk about money for a few hours!

Appointment 1
I. Is everything so unfair?
Why some artists are so rich - and many others are not.

II The theatre and music market
Where the money comes from, why culture is usually not a business - and why you can't compare your performances with toothpaste.

III Numbers on the table...
Your artistic workplace: Where do you earn what? What rates, rules and contracts are there?
What can you demand for your work? What are the arguments? What do others get?

IV Solidarity brings money!
You thought it would be easier to work alone? Fatal error. The degree of organisation in your sector determines your quality of life!

Appointment 2
I. How you can plan your career in the arts
We play a game with your future - and explain why it makes money.

II. How to work properly
Self-employed or employed? Freelance or salaried? Different career paths and their effects.

III How to negotiate a good salary
Strategies for more money: What works - and if so, with which arguments?
You can practise negotiating - and that's exactly what we do!
