Learning unit contents

After an introduction to the issues of cultural management and, more specifically, articulation of the cultural, economic and political fields, this course will set out the human, financial and material resources behind production of living arts. Various organigrammes of small and large theatre and concert institutions will be analysed, their compatibility (two-fold), the fiscal and social status of artists, the logic of public subsidies and motivation for sponsorships. A large part of the course is devoted to the study of real cases with particular focus on evaluation tools (cultural operators and cultural policies). A visit to a performing arts operator will close the course.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

By the end of the course, students will have a good knowledge of all the resources required for living art production. They should also have a critical vision of the challenges facing performance art operators, the public authorities supporting them and their audiences.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

To have regularly attended (as a spectator or as a participant) concerts, theatrical performances or operas is a clear advantage.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Students are invited to design a living performance, to draft a file requesting financial support to a public agency and request private sector support (sponsorship).

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
