Arts employability and extracurricular communities of practice
Developing student employability is a key strategy within institutions of higher education, particularly for students in creative industries where labour market supply has outpaced employer demand. Existing literature shows that activities that promote communities of practice offer clear employability benefits for students. However, such activities are often centred within university curriculum or driven by career development units with limited s…
Unequal opera-tunities
Purpose This paper examines the US opera sector as a means for interrogating how varying forms of non-standard work shape gender inequality in the creative industries. Design/methodology/approach The authors draw on 16 seasons of opera production data from Operabase.com to conduct a gender-based exploratory data analysis of the key creative roles of conductor, director and designers, as well as the hiring networks through which teams are formed, …
Risky business
The field of cultural policy has seen a shift towards considerations of diversity, with government bodies increasingly leveraging funding to combat inequality within organisations. A barrier to this aim is a lack of quantitative data, which would provide a means to evaluate the impact of specific policies in practice. This article investigates the relationship between gender inequality at an organisational level and cultural policy at a sectoral …
Who Did You Meet at the Venice Biennale? Education-to-Work Transition Enhancers for Aspiring Arts Professionals in Australia
Precarious employment and unpaid labour are common features of the cultural and creative industries. While existing literature highlights the benefit of professional development in building careers, it focuses on self-driven rather than formalised activities. Social capital and social disadvantage are recognised as major factors limiting career success. Yet, it is unclear whether formalised professional development programs offer advantages to ov…
The impacts of digital initiatives on musicians during Covid-19
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, performance venues worldwide were shuttered, and many arts organisations “pivoted” to digital performance platforms. While existing literature has explored the impact of such strategies on organisations and audiences, there has been limited consideration of the role of digital initiatives in either alleviating or exacerbating the negative impacts of the pandemic on professional classical musicians. This ar…
Is there a 'Venice Effect'? Participation in the Venice Biennale and the implications for artists' careers
Prestige is widely considered to positively influence the careers of artists, and the Venice Biennale is arguably the most prestigious event in the international visual arts calendar. This article examines the impact that appearing in the Venice Biennale has on artists' careers. With a sample of 98 artists from six countries who participated in the Biennale in the 20 years between 1997 and 2017, we used data relating to artists' exhibition activi…
Opera-ting on inequality
Despite an international focus on gender inequality in the cultural and creative industries in recent years, there remains a lacuna of empirical data on the gendered dimension of work in opera. This paper establishes a baseline for understanding gender inequality in opera through a case study of The Royal Opera, Covent Garden. Drawing on a longitudinal analysis of the company’s production credits from 2005/6–2019/20, we analyse the gender profile…
Controversy, uncertainty and the diverse public in cultural diplomacy
In the past few years, foreign policy tensions between China and Australia have become especially fraught. In some cases, this political situation manifests in the very diplomatic initiatives that were funded to help ease relations. This article considers a case study of a theatrical collaboration in the context of contemporary Australia–China relations to interrogate the value of our understandings of and evaluation frameworks for public diploma…
Notation by Context
Digital technology can be used as a scenographic tool to project visual settings in the theatrical space. However, digital scenography that incorporates “faux-interactivity,” or the illusion of a causal relationship between live performers and digital elements, can also serve as a form of notation that digitally preserves the physical movement of live performers through scenographic context. This paper explores the potential for faux-interactive …
Navigating control and illusion
Interactivity – a networked loop in which a performer’s live data feeds a digital system – can bridge the divide between live performance and digital entities in transmedia dance performances. In the ‘entanglement scene’ of Australian Dance Theatre’s Multiverse (2014), choreographer Garry Stewart and the creative coders and animators at the Deakin Motion.Lab utilise ‘faux-interactivity’, or a perceived relationship between the dancers and digital…
