Combining history, theory, case studies and practical guidance, this book offers a critical introduction to interdisciplinary production in the arts and cultural industries.
Taking a production studies approach, the book examines how arts and cultural organisations produce and present new work that integrate knowledge and working methods from different disciplines, while accounting for cultural policy, funding and audiences. It provides rich and detailed case studies of interdisciplinary production in practice across a range of international contexts. Rather than taking a specific art form as a starting point, the author focuses on the strategic act of conjunction and considers examples across multiple art forms including the visual and performing arts and beyond. Whilst providing historical and theoretical contextualisation, this book primarily focuses on new, accessible ways to both understand the promise of interdisciplinarity and execute its creation.
As the first text to examine the working process of creating complex interdisciplinary cultural projects, this book will be of interest to advanced students in various creative disciplines, including media production, cultural industries and arts management, and curating.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
