ITSAZOO Productions is Hiring a Part Time Managing Producer
About ITSAZOO
ITSAZOO Productions creates immersive, dynamic theatre events for daring audiences. We support this with four core values: Immersion, Risk, Fun, and Community. Whether it’s a fly-on-the-wall, immersive experience or a participatory, site specific event, we can create theatre for anyone, anytime, anywhere. We don’t want our audience to just watch the story. We want our audience to experience the world of the story; to live through it.
Founded in 2006, ITSAZOO is a Vancouver based company led by Artistic Director Sebastien Archibald with support from Artistic Associate (and founder) Chelsea Haberlin. We produce one full production and have 1-2 productions in development each year and our annual budget sits around $100,000.
Responsibilities
- Fiscal management including: annual budget, cash flow and working with a bookkeeper and accountant on financial statements;
- In collaboration with the Artistic Director, producing on projects and workshops including but not limited to: contracting artists and production teams, venue rentals/site access and logistics, community engagement and accessibility initiatives.
- Fundraising including: collaborating on grant and foundation applications and an annual giving campaign;
- Administrative oversight;
- Coordination of long-range and annual planning in collaboration with the Artistic Director and the Board of Directors;
- Fostering the development of good relations with other cultural organizations;
- Supporting marketing initiatives and social media presence led by the Artistic Director.
Other Possible Responsibilities
ITSAZOO has always been a collectively managed organization led by multiple artistic leaders. In the tradition of this collaborative model there is definitely room for contribution to artistic programming and planning based on the interest of the applicant. This is also a new role that can grow and evolve overtime as appropriate.
