Beursschouwburg is a multidisciplinary center for arts and reflection, an open meeting place strongly anchored in Brussels’ reality. Beursschouwburg functions as a platform to present and develop a wide array of art practices and research, as a support and experimentation network for artists, collectives and thinkers; a hub that questions normativity and welcomes new narratives. Beursschouwburg is looking for  a motivated and  enthusiastic colleague who  will  be responsible for the production follow-up of the performing arts program and the supervision of the performances that mainly take place in the evening and at night.

What will you be doing?
As a production officer, you are responsible for the practical realization of the performing arts program. In collaboration with the performing arts programmer and the technical team, you execute the plans of our performances and related events. You are the contact person for    questions of artists, partners, and colleagues; and  vice versa you keep all stakeholders  informed about the progress of each project. You organize travel and transport, the accommodation, and a warm welcome for the artists. You monitor the podium budget in collaboration with the performing arts programmer and the financial direction and you manage the administrative post-production of the performing arts events. When the public is present, you are in charge and coordinate the immediate communication between the different collaborators (technique, box office, security, bar) and the public. You ensure that the evening runs smoothly and safely, and you intervene as needed.
