''This book constitutes an impressive piece of original research, using methods which are unusual in the field of theatre studies. It examines in remarkable empirical detail a whole range of questions regarding income, social security, and governance of the independent performing arts in Europe. It will become a benchmark for future research.'' Professor Christopher Balme, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, Germany
''This is the first comprehensive and comparative study into the independent performing arts in Europe. The book is pathbreaking in its empirical richness and institutional analysis. I highly recommend it to all practitioners and scholars who seek to gain a deeper understanding of current field dynamics in the performing arts.'' Professor Axel Haunschild, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany
