Women Theatre Leaders in the Spotlight
International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day is a moment to recognise progress toward gender equality while acknowledging the work that remains.
At a time when women’s rights continue to face resistance in Europe and beyond, it is also an opportunity to amplify the voices and leadership of women across sectors, including culture.
In European theatre, leadership matters: it shapes institutions, artistic direction, and the stories brought to the stage.
Today, the European Theatre Convention marks an important milestone: 50% of ETC member theatres are now led by women.
Women in Leadership
To mark this moment and deepen the conversation on leadership and equality in the sector, ETC will convene women theatre leaders from across Europe this April for The 50%: Women in Leadership — a dedicated programme of discussions, workshops, networking and exchanges at the ETC International Theatre Conference ‘Open to the World,’ taking place at Göteborgs Stadsteater – Backa Teater in Gothenburg (Sweden).
