Building Blocks of Producing - A New Free Course!
We are extremely excited to announce our latest addition to the FREE online courses available at Fractured U. - Building Blocks of Producing by longtime Fractured Atlas member Michael Roderick of Small Pond Entertainment.
This course will provide key points on the logistics of producing, from theatrical productions to one-night events. There will be a special focus on producing for theatre, but many of the points can be applied to producing events in dance and music as well. Each section will examine key points in a producer’s planning process as well as nuts and bolts information about producing. Topics covered will include: venue selection, fundraising, financing, Equity Showcase Code and other rules, licensing, marketing, and tips for how to keep track of it all. The course will include recommended reading, discussion questions, an online forum to chat with other producers and the professor, and assignments to help you practice.
Course instructor Michael Roderick has produced at Manhattan Theatre Source, Theater Row Studios, Where Eagles Dare, the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre, the Red Room, the Bridge Theatre at Shetler Studios and has produced shows in the NY International Fringe Festival, the Midtown International Theatre Festival, and the Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival, among others. He has worked as an office associate for Davenport Theatrical Enterprises and has Off Broadway Associate Producing credits with the musical ROOMS a Rock Romance at New World Stages and with The New Hopeville Comics at The Chernuchin Theater at ATA. Michael is currently the program director for Self-Producing Artists at Theater Resources Unlimited. Michael is also a graduate of the Commercial Theatre Institute’s 14-week Program as well as the six-week Creative Intensive Program. Michael is the organizer of the Independent Producers Alliance of New York and he holds a BA in Secondary Education English and Theatre Performance from Rhode Island College as well as a Masters in Educational Theatre for Colleges and Communities from New York University. He is the Artistic Director of Fractured Atlas member organization Small Pond Entertainment.
And remember, not only are Fractured U. courses free, but they are completely asynchronous — meaning you can take it on your own time and may start and stop as many times as you’d like. This course should take about 3-6 hours of your time.
We look forward to you enrolling in the course!
