Stage & Office

Theater thrives on the direct encounter between stage and audience, as its specific impact unfolds in the live experience. The forms of contemporary Swiss theater are diverse, ranging from municipal theaters to amateur operettas and poetry slams. In addition to creativity and a love for performance, stage art also involves administrative offices, as theater requires organization and, of course, funding. These interconnections are explored in the multifaceted investigations of the volume "Stage & Office." The volume documents the various forms and rich relationships of theatrical creation in Switzerland. It describes different theater forms such as municipal theaters, the independent theater scene, and dance theater, as well as lesser-known forms like disability and prison theater. Another focus is the examination of the relationships between organizational structures and production.
