Makers*Monday

Makers* Monday
* for makers, writers, actors, directors, dramaturgs, scenographers, programmers, producers, technicians, and other performing arts professionals.

Are you working on a performance and do you have questions about the process? Do you want to be part of a larger network? Maybe you need artistic, production, or financial support but don't know where to find it. Or perhaps you're unsure where to develop or present your work within the arts field and how you fit in as a maker.

Makers* Monday is here for you!

What questions can you ask?
Any question at all (such as about dramaturgy, budgets, marketing, artistic aspects, production, etc.), as long as it's about your work or how you position yourself in the arts field, and not about pitching your show for sale. Makers* Monday is here to help you with the process, not to program/sell your project. There are no wrong questions. Really. We're here for you, no matter where you are in your creative process.

How does it work?
Makers* Monday takes place on the first Monday of every month in a different city, making us accessible throughout the Netherlands.

If you want to participate, sign up at least a week in advance via the registration form. This allows us to match you with a professional from our community who can help you one-on-one with your question.

Everyone working in the performing arts is welcome. Depending on your needs, the spoken language will be English and/or Dutch. Participation is free!

Who are we?
We are a community of people working with new makers at Over het IJ, Festival Cement, VIA ZUID, Amsterdam Fringe Festival, Delft Fringe Festival, HNT/Zaal 3, Jonge Harten Festival, De Brakke Grond, Café Theater Festival, Likeminds, Bellevue and Frascati. We are joining forces to be more accessible to young makers working on new projects.

Why?
We see a lack of spaces for people working in the performing arts to learn and ask questions about their projects, to find their way in the arts field, and to build a larger or broader network.
