Training Sessions

Since 1999, CINARS has offered more than 15 training seminars to performing arts professionals in Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Finland, Norway, and Japan. This particular program has enabled more than 100 agents and artistic company representatives in the field of theatre, dance, music, circus, and multidisciplinary arts to organize tours across the globe for the past two decades.

The training seminar “Export strategy for the performing arts” gives new agents the necessary skill set to make the leap to international touring circuits while also giving established professionals an opportunity to enhance their practices in changing global arts markets.

This practical training seminar is tailor-made for artist representatives and performing arts administrators looking to develop strategies for international touring. It will help the participants hone their marketing skills and adapt them to the realities of foreign markets, and also provide them with the tools needed to manage international tours.

At CINARS, we believe that exporting artistic productions should not be limited by technical or commercial shortcomings. Many of the skills needed to tour internationally are practical and very specific, and therefore, transferable
