teaterfeltet
Teaterfeltet is a term used in Nordic theatre studies to describe the social field in which professional theatre operates. It encompasses the organizations, practicioners, audiences, and institutions that produce, present, and critique theatre, as well as the discourses that shape what counts as legitimate theatre. The field includes public and private theatres, independent companies, festivals, dramaturgs, designers, actors, directors, playwrights, critics, funders, and educational institutions. It also covers the circulation of plays, methods of production, and channels for reception such as reviews and media coverage.
The teaterfeltet is shaped by cultural policy, funding arrangements, education and training, and market or audience
