This is a question that many dancers ask who would like to change their career path and are in the process of transition.
Whether a French diploma or a British bachelor can be the foundation for a career shift, for example, an MA program at a German university, is something that one should check before applying. This saves a lot of trouble and possibly disappointments, in case the diploma is not comparable to a German degree and is thus not accepted here.
Competent help can be found at the federal “Netzwerk durch Integration”. This is a special program that assists in checking foreign educational paths and diplomas individually, free of charge and without complications. This offer for counseling is supported by the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, the Federal Ministry of Science and Research, the Arbeitsagentur and the European Social Fund.

The job as an “Ernährungsberater/in” (nutritionist) is not a legally protected career in Germany. In theory, you do not need training or a specific education to call yourself a nutritionist. However, it is highly recommended to complete an appropriate educational program in order to gain the relevant knowledge and be able to present clients with a founded qualification. Many private educational institutes offer programs for nutritionists. Most of these courses are on a part-time basis as correspondence courses or as evening courses and weekend seminars. But be careful! These classes are often far too short in order to be the basis for a new career. In order to be able to work for a state health insurance in the role of a primary preventive nutritionist, you must prove that you have a completed education as a diet assistant or have a relevant degree, e.g. food technology or nutritional science, before you begin your further education program.
An education to become a diet assistant is certified. Diet assistants create diet and nutritional plans for people who would like to eat in a healthy way or have to abide by a specific diet. They create diets that have been determined by doctors, conceive of special diets and give advice for questions of nutrition. Diet assistants find employment in hospitals, in rehabilitation clinics, in specialist offices, as freelancers and in their own private practices. The training for a diet assistant is federally regulated: three years of education at career schools.
Studying at a university is more intensive: the basic study program nutritional science offers fundamental scientific knowledge in nutritional science, food science and food technology. The program has a high level of chemical and biological elements. Fundamental knowledge, i.e. from a basic course or seminar, is thus a good prerequisite. You also need good insight into physics and applied mathematics. You should be firm in differential, integral and infinitesimal calculus and vector mathematics as well as linear algebra. Statistics is also helpful.

The Landesverband Freie Tanz- und Theaterschaffende Baden-Württemberg and the EurAka Baden-Baden is offering an IHK-certified further education program to become a production manager for the first time in 2015.
Production managers are responsible for the planning and realization of independent projects, e.g. dance, theater, performance and multi-disciplinary projects. On commission by clients and in a close cooperation with the artistic directors, they provide for a professional and well-timed production process. Their duties include project planning and financing before the production phase begins. While the project is being realized, they coordinate the interests of all involved parties, the technical facilities as well as controlling. Production managers thus ensure professional planning and realization of all the technical, economic and artistic necessities of a production.
The goal of this three-week program is to enable people with an artistic/business talent to perform the difficult work of a production manager. The further education program is thus directed at people from the independent scene who have a high level of artistic talent buzt who lack business and legal basics. People from the field of organizers are also sought (event managers, event business managers, cultural managers) who have detailed knowledge of the business world but are not so experienced in the production processes in dance, theater and performance.
The teachers for the further education program are Dieter Buroch (Kultur-Konzepte, planner and advisor), Ilka Rümke (freies Kulturbüro ehrliche Arbeit, Berlin), Alexander Opitz (Bundesverband Freier Theater), Betty Hensel (freelance director and communications trainer), Alexandra Schmidt (Kultur Kommunikation Management), Christian Betz (Event-Consult-Europa) and Andreas Balzer (teacher for even management, Baden-Baden).
Planned are two weeks in July 2015 (13. – 25.7.) and one week in September
(7. – 11.9.). The location of the seminar is Baden-Baden.

For the last time we would like to ask all dance professionals if they would be willing to send us a short greeting or thanks for our work. Your text (a maximum of 10 words) will then be printed in our anniversary brochure with your name (or anonymous, if you wish). It will be published in the fall of 2015.
Please send us your congratulations until May 30th at the latest: heike.scharpff@stiftung-tanz.com or per mail to: Stiftung TANZ – Transition Zentrum Deutschland / Kollwitzstr. 64 / 10435 Berlin.
