Value Amateur Subsidised Commercial Theatre

项目摘要

This project aims draw a complete and systematic picture of the theatrical life of the city of Newcastle and the surrounding Tyneside region from the perspectives of the audience members who experience it. It will aim to encompass every piece of theatre that takes place in the area during the six-month period of study-professional, amateur and commercial. The project will collect data on who is attending which sort of theatre, what motivates spectators to attend, what experiences they have while there, and in what ways these experiences and values are different for amateur, commercial and subsidized theatre. The project uses a tested combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys, interviews, focus groups, and social media analysis to address these questions. While a number of theatre scholars have written about extraordinary performances and audience experiences, it is far more challenging to collect complete data on the more typical examples of theatergoing which, while not traditionally attracting as much scholarly interest, are the daily bread keeping the theatre afloat as an art form and an industry.By including a wide variety of theatrical forms and focusing on audience's experiences, this project will help contribute to a much more nuanced and useful understanding of the role that theatre can play in contemporary British society. The findings will be useful to theatre makers who wish to better serve their audiences, but they will also assist in advocacy for increased financial support for the arts and, in particular, to show how the function of subsided, professional theatre is not one that can be replaced by its amateur or commercial counterparts . The project will work with the Empty Space, a key collaborative hub in Newcastle, and former Arts Council England North East executive director Mark Robinson of the think tank Mission Models Money to ensure that the results of our investigation are made available in an accessible, clear and useful way to the Tyneside theatre community, policymakers and the general public.This project draws its methods from the Project on European Theatre Systems (STEP), a group of theatre sociologists from seven European countries. STEP has developed methods and metrics to collect this data on theatre and audience experience, and has refined and tested them in a number of smaller European cities. Thus far, comprehensive data has been gathered on Groningen, the Netherlands; Aarhus, Denmark; Berne, Switzerland; Maribor, Slovenia; Tartu, Estonia; and Debrecen, Hungary. Both the Principal Investigator and the lead Research Assistant have experience working with STEP and its methods, which are based primarily on the work of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and Dutch theatre scholar Hans van Maanen. STEP has been devising, testing, and refining its theory and methods since 2005. Common techniques and measures will facilitate comparisons both between different sorts of theatre within Tyneside, and between Tyneside and its continental cousins. Such a comparison will clarify what is distinctive about British theatre culture-not just in terms of its aesthetics, but in terms of the function it serves for its audience and the larger society around it.

该项目旨在从体验过戏剧生活的观众的角度，完整而系统地描绘出纽卡斯尔市和周围泰恩赛德地区的戏剧生活。它旨在涵盖在六个月的学习期间在该地区发生的每一件戏剧作品-专业，业余和商业。该项目将收集关于谁参加哪种剧院的数据，是什么促使观众参加，他们在那里有什么经验，以及这些经验和价值观在业余，商业和补贴剧院方面有何不同。该项目使用经过测试的定量和定性方法，包括调查，访谈，焦点小组和社交媒体分析来解决这些问题。虽然许多戏剧学者已经写了关于非凡的表演和观众体验的文章，但收集关于戏剧的更典型例子的完整数据要更具挑战性，这些例子虽然传统上没有吸引那么多的学术兴趣，但却是维持戏剧作为一种艺术形式和一种产业的日常面包。通过包括各种戏剧形式并关注观众体验，这个项目将有助于对戏剧在当代英国社会中所扮演的角色有更细致和有益的理解。调查结果将有助于希望更好地为观众服务的戏剧制作者，但它们也将有助于倡导增加对艺术的财政支持，特别是表明，下沉，专业剧院的功能是如何不能被业余或商业同行所取代的。该项目将与纽卡斯尔的一个重要合作中心“空的空间”和前艺术理事会英格兰东北部执行董事马克罗宾逊的智囊团使命模型钱，以确保我们的调查结果是在一个访问，明确和有用的方式提供给泰恩赛德剧院社区，该项目借鉴了欧洲戏剧系统项目（STEP）的方法，该项目是由来自七个欧洲国家的戏剧社会学家组成的。STEP开发了收集剧院和观众体验数据的方法和指标，并在一些较小的欧洲城市进行了改进和测试。迄今为止，已收集了关于荷兰格罗宁根、丹麦奥胡斯、瑞士伯尔尼、斯洛文尼亚马里博尔、爱沙尼亚塔尔图和匈牙利德布勒森的全面数据。首席研究员和首席研究助理都有与STEP及其方法合作的经验，这些方法主要基于法国社会学家Pierre Bourdieu和荷兰戏剧学者Hans货车Maanen的工作。自2005年以来，STEP一直在设计、测试和完善其理论和方法。共同的技术和措施将有助于泰恩赛德地区不同类型的剧院之间的比较，以及泰恩赛德和它的大陆堂兄弟之间的比较。这样的比较将阐明英国戏剧文化的独特之处--不仅是在其美学方面，而且在其为观众和周围更大的社会服务的功能方面。
