From Local Stage to Global Reach: Touring Dance Internationally

Deploying Your Artistic Work Internationally

Expanding your artistic work internationally requires a clear understanding of the dynamics that shape foreign markets. This training offers concrete guidelines to consider when planning distribution outside Quebec and to initiate a structured approach to global development.

Guided by the CAPAS team along with invited international specialists, you will explore the various aspects of international distribution: prospecting, networking, artistic adaptation, administrative considerations, as well as global communication and marketing.

Through an interactive presentation, inspiring case studies, and testimonials from field experts, you will analyze the cultural and professional realities of different territories, fine-tune your artistic offer, and design a solid, realistic action plan for your international development. Particular emphasis will be placed on networking, participating in key industry events, and developing a strategic positioning relevant on a global scale. A presentation document and practical resources will be provided to participants during the training.
