Careers In Focus
The purpose of this program is to give artists short-term access to employers who are usually inaccessible, in a constructive environment for feedback.Through the expertise of its esteemed collaborating advisors/employers, the Centre has identified the areas of need to artists, and has designed the CAREERS IN FOCUS program to address these needs. Artists are encouraged to develop their skills, export their services, and retain their home base in Canada.
Encounters with Employers and
Networking & Workshops:
- Encounters with Employers
Fall and Spring in Toronto
Freelance artists need to know where and when auditions take place, which competitions are available to them. They need access to employers in a nurturing environment to find out where they are in their development, to identify their strengths and weaknesses, how they relate or don’t relate to the current needs of employers, and how to eventually reach their goals with longer term planning.“Encounters” are given in three two-day segments. The first two days deal with presentation, repertoire, preparation, and performance. The second two days are devoted to languages and text, and the third two days are instaging, role interpretation, and character analysis.Employers have hired artists from these sessions. They are pleased to have time to work with and observe the artists instead of the usual three minute audition without time for feedback. Participants enjoy the collegial and encouraging atmosphere where they do not feel compromised.
