Zodiak's co-production is based on partnership. As the name implies, Zodiak's financial co-production support covers part of the production costs, meaning that in addition to Zodiak's support, realizing the work requires collaboration with other production and funding entities.
What does Zodiak offer?
Zodiak's co-production is based on partnership: Zodiak offers a structure, community, resources, and expertise within which the working group can focus on realizing their work. Zodiak supports the working group with financial production support as well as in artistic, production, and technical matters. Zodiak presents the finished work as part of its programme and supports its future life.
What do we expect from the working group?
The artistic working group is responsible for producing the work and securing overall funding. At the same time, the working group has the freedom to shape the work and be responsible for its artistic content.
As the name implies, Zodiak's financial co-production support covers part of the production costs, meaning that in addition to Zodiak's support, realizing the work requires collaboration with other production and funding entities. The support must be directed towards the artistic work of group members and cannot be used for other production expenses. It must be possible to invoice the support from Zodiak.
The working group must participate in producing marketing materials and be active in marketing their work and building an audience relationship. Members of the working group are expected to participate in the artist talk arranged in connection with the performances.
We require professional and ethical conduct from the working group, as well as a willingness to engage in active dialogue with Zodiak throughout different production stages.
International Scope
Selected proposals are also evaluated for their potential within an international production environment and opportunities for further life. When a production is included in Zodiak's promotion and sales efforts, the aim is to find international co-production and collaboration partners already during the pre-production phase, thereby building a lifecycle beyond the premiere period from the outset. These productions can belong to any production category.
