Program Goals and Objectives
THE TIME IS RIPE TO BEGIN AFRESH AND TO CHANGE FROM ARTSMANAGEMENT TO CULTURAL PRODUCTION
After 20 years of operating experience in education and training of arts managers and two years occupational research, ICCM came to the conclusion to change radically its international academic top programme and offers up to now the newly created MA CULTURAL PRODUCTION for all people who want to work in strategic fields of cultural production and who are not interested in old fashioned arts management programmes.
THE BRAND NEW CUTTING EDGE MA IN CULTURAL PRODUCTION
The new MA is an answer to the challenging recent changes in the cultural sector as a whole as well as in the different cultural fields. The new MA is a reply to the complex patterns of cultural production and the dynamic information and communication society evolve under the tremendous influence of this revolutionary change in the cultural and media environment. Cultural production cannot be reduced to the questions of management and the organisation of the cultural domain. Instead, it’s about the conjunctions of culture and science, creativity and tangible form, reflection on knowledge attained and knowledge managed and on the willingness to transform, social fantasy and engagement.
„Cultural producer“ describes the new self-image of today’s cultural worker as producer, impresario, practitioner and cultural conveyer. Cultural producers are found within the traditional arts of music, theatre, dance, literature and painting and even more often in fields owing their development to new technological possibilities. They can be independent entrepreneurs or creatively active in cultural institutions, free thinking enterprises or private companies. They are, doubtless, producers possessing an uncanny sense of hyper-textual self-understanding, focused on the interrelationship to “users” and active proponents of narrative structures encouraging dynamic interaction with audiences.
