How can Diagramme help you?

Diagramme's range of services covers all the administrative operations required to plan, develop, manage and complete a project, either brief or extensive. Diagramme offers a service tailored to meet your specific needs.

Diagramme was founded 35 years ago under the impulse of the Regroupement des professionnels de la danse du Québec and has continued ever since to honour its mission by supporting artists and organizations in the performing arts sector that focus on physical expression (dance, circus, theater). For example, a theater company that prioritizes physical expression may be eligible for support from Diagramme. Contact us if you have any questions about this!

The artistic vision and approach must come from the artist. Diagramme does not claim to draft the initial version of a grant or scholarship application. However, we can help you organize your thoughts and articulate your ideas. As part of this mandate, we review your text, but also your schedule, budget and supporting documents and coordinate the application to maximize your chances of obtaining these essential supports.

Diagramme is evolving with its community and is constantly developing new initiatives to support the performing arts. These flexible support measures have been created to meet needs that go beyond the usual administrative and budgetary management and funding requests. In recent years, we have led several programs and special projects, including Studios Solidaires, Co-production Support, Luncheries and Training and Coaching services.

« Diagramme est un pilier, qui, avec compétence et fidélité, a soutenu l’ascension de ma compagnie et la transformation de sa structure à travers les années. […] En 5 ans, ma compagnie s’est fait octroyer des subventions au fonctionnement, a organisé des tournées provinciales, internationales et a présenté plus de 150 représentations ».
