This workshop is appropriate for artists and arts administrators in all fields, as well as for attorneys interested in learning about artists collaborative process and the basic law in this area. Dancers make movement which a choreographer shapes. Two authors co-write a book. Playwrights, directors and dramaturgs, along with choreographers, actors and designers, collaborate to realize the final theatre piece an audience sees. Studio assistants may play a critical role in bringing to life the vision of the artist for whom they work.
Programmers make it possible for net artists to realize projects online.
And a film is the result of the combined efforts of many, including directors, cinematographers and writers. Even if you qualify as a co-author under the law, problems can arise if your conception for a project begins to diverge too much from your collaborator's ideas. Understanding and exploring these issues and learning about the value and importance of collaboration agreements is the subject of this participatory workshop. Bring your questions and experiences. A handout regarding the law and a checklist of issues to consider when entering into an artistic collaboration will be distributed.
