Artistic Direction Isn’t Just For Artistic Directors (Ideally)

“I have grave concerns, because over the last 20 years I’ve watched as artistic staffs have become siloed  in theatres, operating as if they are the only keepers of the artistic flame and increasingly relegating all contact with artists to members of the artistic staff. Functions that were handled in the past by general managers, company managers, managing directors, and production managers are now often handled by artistic administrators, line producers, and a wealth of other people with creative titles.”
