While we know in our heads that public theater projects are connected (or “must be”/ “should be” connected) to the cultural policy of the government and municipalities, we probably have few opportunities to get a real sense of this, or give it much thought. For this series of lectures, we invite people in charge of cultural policy and enterprise at national and local government level, as well as those who negotiate with administrative bodies in the course of developing cultural projects with private companies or public theaters, to consider the connection between cultural policy and the creative workplace.
