The Production Desk

We aim to reduce the workload of Producers, Production Managers, Stage Managers, Dance School Owners and Teachers by providing administrative support services to performing arts organisations across Australia. Whether you need someone to answer your phone or email enquiries, manage calendar bookings for classes or auditions, coordinate opening or closing night events and gifts, wrangle the production and travel logistics for a tour, schedule rehearsal or production weeks, draft your risk assessment documents, oversee an industry-specific conference, educate your volunteers or employees, or something we haven't mentioned, you'll be pleased with the possibilities on offer! All services are delivered remotely from our office in Melbourne, with the ability to consult via phone, online meetings, or in person where required. We've developed a range of packages to suit every organisation's budget or requirements, but if there's something specific you are looking for, we are more than happy to tailor a package for you.
