HR in Arts & Entertainment Sector (Theatreland)

Denise

Hi All

I have been working in Theatre land for just over two years which has been a steep learning curve in terms of the types of contracts and conditions in this industry.  I am looking to find out if there is any particular training opportunities available, perhaps even mentoring in this aspect of HR .  While people issues are generally same no matter what industry, i do feel this is quite specialised and would appreciate a bit of support in my stand alone position.

thanks

  • Hi Denise,

    Would you be able to share more about the specific issues you encounter? Although I don't work in this sector I would be very interested to know more.

    Hi Keighley... where to start! In some ways we are no different from other multi functioning organisations and the charity sector. But we have the creative arts and freelance contracts, annualised hours, working within BECTU and Equity Unions for the sector. These have specific requirement in regards to breaks, show times, long hours, and then there are a number of very niche roles, wardrobe, cutter, lighting, sound engineers, tutors, actors, musicians, script readers, chaperones, audio describers and many more. There is never a dull moment!
    Regards
