Dynamics of Institutionalization in Independent Music Theater

在考察了德国公共歌剧院的制度转型过程之后，该项目打算考察独立音乐剧院，以进一步了解当代音乐剧院的美学和制度转型的动态。这样做的动机是，致力于表演艺术的音乐形式的独立戏剧团体的基础不断增加。当歌剧院正在与深远的合法性问题作斗争时，因此，随着去制度化的趋势，独立的音乐剧院倾向于巩固和稳定其制度结构。越来越多的合法化和制度化，这表明这些形式在表演艺术中日益重要，正在受到演员自己的许多倡议的刺激；而且还通过文化-政治融资工具发展结构性支持。考虑到欧洲独立音乐剧场的相互依存关系，以及其身体、声音和性别的另类概念，该项目追求独立音乐剧场的特定文化，这体现在其美学观念和实际工作中，也体现在其制度结构和发展中。

After examining institutional transformation processes of public opera houses in Germany, the project intends to examine independent music theater in order to understand further the dynamics of aesthetic and institutional transformation of contemporary music theater. Motive for this is the increased foundation of independent theater groups that are dedicated to musical formats of performing arts. While opera houses are struggling with far-reaching problems of legitimacy and thus, with tendencies towards de-institutionalization, independent music theater tends to consolidate and stabilize its institutional structures. Increasing legitimization and institutionalization, which suggests the growing importance of these formats within the performing arts, are being stimulated by numerous initiatives by the actors themselves; but also by the development of structural support through cultural-political funding instruments. Considering European interdependencies of independent music theater on the one hand and its alternative concepts of body, voice and gender on the other, the project pursues a specific culture of independent music theater, which is reflected in its aesthetic concepts and practical work, but also in its institutional structures and developments.
