Assessing the economic and cultural value of Australian theatre

该项目的目的是确定艺术和文化企业的经济和文化价值如何被创造、传播和接受，并应用于现场剧院。该项目采用新颖的理论方法来分析这些问题，并为实证应用开发新的方法。它希望开发一种创新的、多学科的方法来分析戏剧公司如何为观众、戏剧从业者、戏剧作为一种艺术形式和社区创造价值。预期的好处包括为表演艺术机构和政策制定者提供展示艺术所产生的全面价值的新方法，从而提高对拨款的信心。

The aim of this project is to determine how the economic and cultural value of artistic and cultural enterprises is created, transmitted and received, with application to the live theatre. The project takes a novel theoretical approach to analysing these issues and develops new methods for empirical application. It expects to develop an innovative, multidisciplinary approach to analysing how theatre companies create value for their audiences, for theatre practitioners, for theatre as an artform, and for communities. The expected benefits include providing performing arts organisations and policymakers with new methods to demonstrate the full range of value yielded by the arts – enabling greater confidence in the allocation of funding.
