Sharing knowledge
Over the years we have accumulated a lot of practical knowledge about producing, touring, and sustaining artistic work in the performing arts. We think it is important and enjoy to share this experience with artists and producers who are navigating similar questions. mollusca productions offers consultation sessions for artists and cultural workers who want to reflect on their projects, work through production challenges, develop strategies or simply talk things through with someone outside their immediate circle.
Areas we can support
We can offer guidance on a range of topics connected to artistic production and professional practice, for example:
• Production and management – organising projects and building sustainable workflows and teams
• Structures and organisation – shaping the practical and administrative framework around an artistic practice
• Budgeting and fees – pricing work, negotiating conditions and understanding value
• Strategies and long-term planning – from specific questions to broader career trajectories
• International circulation – thinking about touring, partnerships, and working across borders
How we work
Each collaboration begins with a first conversation where we learn more about your situation and what you are looking for. From there we can shape a format that suits your needs.
Possible formats include:
• Focused sessions – one-to-one conversations around a specific topic or challenge
• Ongoing accompaniment – a series of sessions over time to reflect on a project or trajectory
• Extended expertise – if needed, we can connect you with people from our wider network who have specialised knowledge in particular areas
Practicalities
Sessions take place live and/or online in english or german.
To keep this work sustainable, we ask for a sliding-scale fee, adjusted to the financial reality of the project or individual.
