The aim of this seminar is to help students prepare for their professional integration and to integrate the different parameters that make up the career of a choreographic artist.
The aim is to give students an accurate picture of the professional environment for which they are destined.
Over 5 days, a wide range of issues will be addressed.
Firstly, the aim is to learn about the organisation of the sector and the characteristics of careers in France and abroad, get to know the labour market, identify the 'employer' structures, understand the characteristics of employment and careers (mobility, career paths, health, retraining, etc.), identify resources, artists' career paths, the dance professions or professions linked to the choreographic sector and their specific features, and become aware of the various possible career paths.
The aim is then to build their first professional project, including the notions of fields of competence and the performer's professional reference framework.
In a very practical way, the students tackle the questions of job hunting, knowing how to read an offer, write a CV and a covering letter, know how to present themselves and their skills and experience (CV, oral presentation, social networks, etc.).
More specifically, the course focuses on the status of the salaried artist, employment law, the different types of employment contract (permanent, fixed-term, fixed-term), the applicable collective agreements in order to be able to read an employment contract, social security (sickness, (sickness, maternity/paternity, accidents at work), unemployment insurance and the specific system of intermittent employment in the performing arts, the specific conditions of working abroad, in Europe and outside Europe, the possibility of combining different activities, choreographer, performer, teacher, researcher, etc.e, researcher, etc., as well as the choreographer's copyright and the performer's related rights.
