PRODUCERS COLAB

The "PRODIUSAI COLAB" training program for young performing arts producers, which has no analogues in Lithuania, is a joint initiative of the Kaunas City Chamber Theater and "Kaunas 2022" to train future performing arts producers. The participants of the almost two-year program will learn not only in lectures or creative laboratories, but will also have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in reality - through creative practice in the organization of one of the mentors of the program. During the internship, the participants will receive a scholarship or partial funding for the implementation of the project.

2022 was the year of creative practice, when, after the theoretical course program, participants improve by implementing a personal project in mentor organizations. During this year, as many as six personal projects and events created by the participants will be presented to the public, which are also included in the Kaunas European Capital of Culture 2022 program.
