Support Unit

Placing the artist at the heart of a performing arts skills cluster, the Machinerie gives the artist access to managers with specific expertise. The support team is made up of both the Machinerie team members and specialized cultural workers.

The goal is to accelerate the development of established or growing artistic companies by mobilizing a cell of managers to respond directly to the artist’s needs. The support is therefore tailored to suit the company’s business models and objectives.

Long-term mobilization of a “tailor-made” team of managers who respond to the needs of artists and their companies. The Machinerie’s involvement evolves according to the company’s deployment cycle in order to act as a lever for the artists.

Here are the four formulas:

• 360-degree accompaniment to strengthen general management
• Organizational capacity-building for a small work team
• Strategic project to work on a specific deployment with the help of a specialized team
• Flex service for one-time mandates to meet immediate organizational needs

Companies currently supported include : 14 lieux (Martin Messier), AP&A (Andrea Peña), Productions Onishka (Émilie Monnet), Compagnie Katie Ward (Katie Ward)

Companies we have worked with in past years : Coeur Battant (Catherine Vidal), L’homme allumette (Philippe Cyr), Louise Bédard Danse (Louise Bédard), Théâtre de l’Opsis (Luce Pelletier), Un et un font mille (François Grisé)

Please note that due to the investment involved in this type of support, the Machinerie examines every program application carefully and cannot guarantee acceptance of new artists.
