“…There are clear and substantive ethnic inequalities in British theatre (Saha, 2017), and American research finds similar issues in theatre and performing arts (Stein, 2019; Cuyler, 2022). In Ireland, the Waking the Feminists movement gave rise to detailed studies of gender inequalities in the Irish theatre industry and work (Donohue et al, 2017; O’Toole, 2011), highlighting, as with film and TV industries (Dent, 2020; Berridge 2019), the impact of motherhood on performance careers (Tartiere 2020).…”

This paper reflects on the systematic interconnections between creative workers and higher education institutions (HEIs). Despite the latter representing key intermediaries in creative industries’ development and creative workers’ career trajectories, the relationship between the two has rarely been framed in a relational and systemic framework. To do so, we chose the UK theatre sector as the case study and adopted a mixed methodology: UK Higher Education Statistical Agency quantitative data, which informed us on the employment state of workers 6 months after graduation, were combined with 21 semi-structured interviews with actors and actresses to understand the complexity of their relationship with HEIs. HEIs emerge as the initial door to paid jobs and professional networks for graduates and as employers for those in the later stages of their careers: the lack of formal ways to access jobs and the precarious working conditions for performers make hence HEIs a crucial force in shaping workers’ careers. Furthermore, HE remains throughout the career of theatre workers an important part of their portfolio, providing reliable income and more stable working patterns when needed. The paper concludes with the findings’ policy implications and the future role of HEIs in creative and cultural ecosystems.

As a response to the 2020 global protests for racial justice, more cultural organizations have posted statements supporting Black lives than ever before. More than a year later, we have observed an unparalleled seriousness in the US creative sector about addressing racial access, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) issues through an increase in training, the hiring of diversity, equity, and inclusion officers, and the creation of anti-racist strategic plans. Although this momentum is heartening, history has shown that because of how white Americans have socially constructed race, structured it, and systemically built it into society, white supremacy culture will always seek to thwart the search for racial justice by people of the global majority. Thus, this chapter explores two research questions. First, how might critical race theory (CRT) inform and assist the death of white supremacy culture in the US creative sector? Second, what implications might the death of white supremacy culture hold for the future of arts management? As it pursues an anti-racist and liberatory culture, the creative sector must remain hyperfocused on the threat that white supremacy culture poses to progress at this pivotal moment in the movement. The chapter’s discussion of the tenets of CRT, characteristics of white supremacy culture, and case studies aims to aid the creative sector in understanding why it must make an unwavering commitment to addressing racial ADEI now.
