Abstract
Modes of Production – Performing Arts in Transition is a Research & Development project that intercrosses the field of artistic studies with the hybrid field of arts management and cultural production. Based at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of the University of Coimbra (CEIS20-UC), it is the result of a partnership with the Artistic Studies Programme at Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the Post-Graduate Diploma in Cultural Management and Sustainability and the Gil Vicente Academic Theater (TAGV-UC).
Its initiatives and studies are carried out in permanent and updated articulation with practitioners and institutions in the arts and cultural sector. It aims to reflect upon the relationship between concrete practices of arts production and management and the different regimes of artistic creation and programming.
In particular, it analyzes the modes of production and management models of arts and cultural projects and organizations in the face of several contemporary transformations, namely those that are raised by the demands of fair practices and social and environmental sustainability.
