Executive Artistic Director

The National Theatre School of Canada is initiating a process that will lead to the appointment of a new Executive Artistic Director for its English Section. We wish for this process to be as transparent as possible and invite suitably qualified individuals from the performing arts industry to apply.

The Executive Artistic Director of the English Section contributes to the creation and implementation of a holistic artistic, theatrical and strategic vision for the School. They are responsible for the English Section's artistic and pedagogical orientation, as well as the overall coherence and optimal synergy of the Acting, Playwriting, Production Design and Technical Arts, Directing, and Set & Costume Design programs, all in accordance with the School's mission, vision and strategic plan. Additionally, they are responsible to lead the Directing Program and Residencies.

JOB DESCRIPTION OF THE EXECUTIVE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AND DIRECTOR OF THE DIRECTING PROGRAM AND RESIDENCIES

Drawing on their own expertise as an artist and their experience as a coach or teacher, the Executive Artistic Director of the English Section develops a personal and innovative vision of the role of the School's English Section within the Canadian theatrical landscape. The direction they give to the Section is built on an ongoing dialogue with students, artists and their work.

At the National Theatre School, part of the duties of the Executive Artistic Director (EAD) includes the oversight of one or several programs. Note that following a recent organizational change, the EAD of the English Section will no longer be responsible for leading the Acting Program, which will be managed by another director. Instead, the new EAD will oversee the Directing Program and Residencies, which support between 6 and 8 students/residents on any given year.

Description of responsibilities:

  • In close collaboration with the CEO and the Executive Committee, helps define the values of the organization, advises on priorities connected with the strategic plan and operational reality, and contributes to the overall functioning of the School;
  • In close collaboration with the CEO and other Program Directors, is responsible for articulating and implementing the overall artistic vision of the English Section, both in terms of how it responds to and influences developments in the professional sector;
  • Participates actively in advancing equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) goals within the organization, including working in close collaboration with the School’s Indigenous Advisory Circle and any other EDIA committees or working groups as required;
  • Manages the overall budget of the English Section in accordance with the priorities, guidelines and policies;
  • Within the Directing Program and Residencies, sets the content (curriculum), the schedules and the organizational aspects (staffing, budget management) while other directors within the English Section are responsible for doing the same with their respective programs;
  • Actively participates in teaching, mentoring and coaching students according to the programs’ and the Section’s needs;
  • Leads the selection process of incoming Directing students/residents and evaluates them in accordance with the Evaluation Policy of NTS;
  • Participates in the selection process, annual review, management and development of the Program Directors, support staff and permanent faculty of the English Section;
  • Contributes to the ongoing evolution and the initiatives developed by the Centre for Arts and Social Innovation and the Library by sharing their expertise as well as their artistic/strategic vision;
  • Works closely with the Executive Artistic Director and Program Directors of the French Section to foster communication between the sections and develop shared pedagogical components;
  • Acts as a liaison between the School and professional milieu, ensuring that the School’s pedagogy is connected to contemporary practice, works to embed the Directing students/residents in professional milieus while still at the school, and organizes meetings with local artists;
  • Helps to set and embodies the values of the organization and provides leadership to students and other staff;
  • Actively works with the External Relations Department on communications and development related to the English Section programs, acts as the principal spokesperson to the English-language theatre community and actively participates in communication and fundraising initiatives and events organized by the School;
  • Assumes all additional tasks related to this position.

The EAD is encouraged to continue to refine their artistic practice outside of the context of the organization, and can, from time to time and with prior approval of the CEO, work on personal artistic projects.

Those selected for an interview will receive a more comprehensive job description including additional details on the various responsibilities and tasks related to the role.

DESIRED PROFILE

The successful candidate will be a well-respected theatre leader who is artistically and pedagogically committed and experienced. They will have knowledge of the evolution and transformation of the theatre community, as well as of creation and production processes. They will be mission driven and praised for their contribution to their community.

Their career path will have enabled them to demonstrate exceptional skills in communication (internal and external), leadership and organizational management. They will have a strong ability to articulate their vision to a team of collaborators and a dynamic and committed management group, as well as a track record of executing on that vision. They will be genuinely curious, have keen observation and listening skills and be recognized as an empathetic leader by their peers.

They will have excellent written and oral communication skills in English and a working knowledge of French will be viewed as a considerable strength. Experience in a management role within a theatre company or organization will be considered a strong asset.

WORKING CONDITIONS

Employment contract for a four (4) year term including a 6-months probation period, with a possible renewal. The base salary for this position is between $110,000-120,000 per year, according to the candidate's experience. A full benefits package will be added to the base salary, including a competitive pension plan and health benefits, as well as a modest relocation budget, if required. Flexibility in the workplace is an essential value at the School, as is reconciliation of professional and personal life.

Language

Because of the particular linguistic status of the National Theatre School and the fact that its training programs are offered in either official language, permanent staff are required to at least be able to understand and express themselves in the official language(s) other than their first language.

It is therefore expected that, regardless of the language level at the time of hiring, within 12 months, all employees will have taken the necessary steps through language training to reach a functional level, which means participation in short conversations related to daily tasks or other familiar topics. The school has training budgets and may be able to contribute to the costs of such training.

Starting date

From March 2024 to June 2024, the English Section is mobilized around the admissions process for the new cohort of students (due to arrive in the Fall of 2024) and oversees the planning and preparation of courses and productions presented during the next school year.

APPLICATION PROCESS

The recruitment of the new Executive Artistic Director of the English Section will be carried out by a selection committee comprising the CEO, a member of the pedagogical team of the English Section, an alumnus, as well as artists from the country's diverse theatre and art community (the names of the various individuals will be shared with candidates later on in the process).

NTS undertakes to treat all applications in the strictest confidence.

The person who will take over as Executive Artistic Director will be invited to participate in key moments of the admissions process and preparation for the new school year. A part-time commitment is therefore planned between the end of April and the end of June 2024, according to the availability of the selected candidate and key dates within the School calendar.

It is expected that the new Executive Artistic Director will take on the role on a full-time basis starting on August 1, 2024. The workload and specific timetable will be the subject of open discussions between the new EAD, the CEO, Fanny Pagé, and the pedagogical team.

Until February 22, 2024, those selected will be able to send their questions by e-mail to cv@ent-nts.ca. A FAQ containing all the questions received and their answers will then be e-mailed to all those selected.

The vision project must be submitted no later than midnight on March 5, 2024. Applicants will be asked to present and discuss their vision project in a second round of interviews.

STEP 3B: SECOND INTERVIEW // BETWEEN MARCH 6 AND MARCH 15, 2024
