ksk for producers as well | orientation

Do you work as a freelance producer in the performing arts? Are you familiar with the Künstlersozialkasse (KSK; in English: artist social fund)? Have you ever thought about joining the KSK, but something came up?

In this orientation session, we will share our work and experiences with you on the question of how the KSK can become more accessible for producers/production managers. The offer is intended to give you an insight into the discussion and help you decide whether an application for admission to the KSK is an option for you. We will clarify together what the advantages and disadvantages of membership might be and where caution might be required.

We will also introduce you to our argumentation paper which is aimed at the KSK and promotes access for creative producers. The orientation session provides a framework in which you can ask and answer the right questions to decide for or against applying for KSK membership.

This workshop is a cooperation between produktionsbande and the North Rhine-Westphalia State Office for the Independent Performing Arts. The second workshop is an invitation for all interested producers who are thinking about applying before the KSK and will walk the participants through the application process. more info about the second workshop

This workshop accompanies the KSK application process of the participants at selected milestones. With our two workshops, we explicitly do not offer advice and cannot guarantee that KSK applications will be approved.
