| Abstract | Be SpectACTive! is a European project based on audience development, involving organisations working on active spectatorship in contemporary performing arts. Its members are European festivals, theatres, universities and research centres. During four years, the network implemented various actions willing to develop audiences and citizen participation in artistic choices and creation processes, including participatory programming groups, participative residencies, and digital participation. These projects were accompanied by an action research and several practical and theoretical exchanges, including international conferences.
This book intends to share the Be SpectACTive! collective adventure, giving a voice to artistic directors, artists, participants and researchers who have been involved in the projects, describing, through case studies and reflections, their successes, limits and perspectives. |

| Metodology | The main methodology adopted is Action-Research. The research team of the Be SpectACTive! project - formed by the University of Barcelona, the University of Montpellier, the CNRS and Fondazione Fitzcarraldo - has carried out an action research over 4 years (from 2014 to 2018) in the venues of the member festivals and theatre and dance organisations of Be SpectACTive! The research team adopted a wide range of techniques - close, regular, individual and collective contacts with relevant actors; interviews; questionnaires; informal exchanges; participant observation, etc. - to get insights on the participatory projects developed within the project. The researchers investigated the main programs developed by member performing arts organisations, such as: Participatory Programming (active spectators select the programming); Creative Residencies (based on the interaction among artists and groups of local audience, specifically targeted on to the topics of the shows to be produced); the Web Platform (an interactive web system shared by spectators and artists, allowing the former ones to follow the artists’ creative processes); the European Spectators Day (a format to foster the encounter between audiences and communities spread in different European cities through the use of online tools). |
