The impact of diversity in the sustainable development of theatre

Join our reference group and help us build a more diverse theatre!

Svenska Teatern has initiated a three year project that studies the role of diversity in a sustainble theatre. The project’s name is “The impact of diversity in the sustainable development of theatre“

Shortly on the study

An increasingly diverse and more multicultural society challenges theatre as a wielder of social influence, in relation to the audience, as a professional community and as a developer of artistic repertoire. The project explores, looks for and tries out ways to increase the share of people representing non-normative cultural capital in theatre audiences and staff. In this context, non-normative cultural capital refers to cultural capital that differs from the norms that have historically been associated with the operations of Svenska Teatern. Such norms include, among others, whiteness, middle-classness, speaking Swedish and speaking Finnish, higher education background and heteronormativity. The purpose of the three-year project is to build more sustainable theatre in its three pillars: Audience, Art and Work Community.

The project is supported by Jane and Aatos Erkko foundation.
