Initiative InfoPlus

With the InfoPlus initiative, the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland (DTD) has been supporting exchange and networking among independent producers, agents, managers, and independent production offices since 2012.

At irregular intervals, the DTD invites participants to InfoPlus producer gatherings. Since 2016, the main focus has been on international, and particularly European, networking and the international exchange of professional know-how among producers.

In 2020, the European network PAMPA (Producers, Agents, Managers in the Performing Arts) was founded together with the French producers’ network LAPAS.

In 2024/25, the training and exchange programme companionship programme: transnational contexts & relations was developed and implemented in collaboration with produktionsbande - Netzwerk Performing Arts Producers. The program has been completed, but a guide for implementing such or a similar program is available upon request.

The producer meetings and programmes address a range of topics, including the self-conception, roles, and positioning of independent producers, agents, managers, and production offices; the working relationships between producers and artists; fee calculation and working conditions; funding for producers and production offices; as well as the expansion of international networking and the transfer of professional know-how, among others.

The InfoPlus gatherings are aimed at all—particularly independent—producers, managers, agents, and representatives of production offices in the performing arts who work (or intend to work) professionally in these roles, regardless of their level of experience.

Current events & activities

 


    In collaboration with the law firm/office Laaser, the DTD (German Dance Association) has created a sample contract within the framework of the InfoPlus producer network and with the support of the Kreativ-Transfer program. This contract allows producers to regulate and document their collaboration with artists.

    The purpose of the template contract is to provide a solid foundation for the working relationship between producers and artists. It serves as a guide, outlining the essential elements that should be included in a contract. The contract contains various customizable sections that can be adjusted by the contracting parties according to their specific needs.

    We welcome feedback on the sample contract, and upon request, we can provide you with the Word files. Please contact: j.gruenewald@dachverband-tanz.de (Jana Grünewald)

    Disclaimer:
    This contract has been drawn up as a model for the usual need for regulation in the area of production management in the independent performing arts scene. The model contract can be used by both contracting parties and regulates the relationship between production manager and client. The model contract was drawn up with the greatest care and in accordance with the legal regulations at the time of its update in April 2025 (first published: March 2021). However, no claim is made to completeness or accuracy. The information boxes are intended as an aid for the contracting parties so that the contract can be applied correctly in individual cases. However, it is expressly pointed out that the interests and needs of the parties may differ from this model contract. Both parties are encouraged to carefully examine the provisions before using the model contract and to seek legal advice in case of ambiguity. Liability for slight negligence is also excluded in principle. The model contract may not be passed on to third parties.
