In 2019, ETC commissioned the first cross-European study on Gender Equality and Diversity in European theatres, as part of ENGAGE – Empowering Today’s Audiences Through Challenging Theatre, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
The ETC member theatres who responded are characterised by a noteworthy presence of women, as well as a noteworthy absence of the other “so-called” minorities.
The study concludes that much must still be done to achieve a level of diversity that corresponds to that in European societies. The suggestions arising from the research are presented below as an advocacy plan aimed at theatres, funders and policy makers, sharing the most important learning.
