Abstract
The paper will discuss the cultural policies and the production, distribution and finance models of the theatrical sector in the Community of Madrid during the last decades and the effect they had on the workers. After introducing the main aspects of the post-fordist labour context we are living in, I will explain how Cultural and Creative Industries have adjusted to it. Focusing on the case of theatre I implemented a qualitative methodological approach based mainly on in depth interviews which allow analysing how the economic and political context influenced theatre companies. In particular, I will be defining a production model I have named “dramatic craftsmanship”, which is expanding as the only way to enter or stay in the job market for many professionals.Downloads
