event management

Abstract: In the globalised environment of the 21st Century, event production in New Zealand takes place through a variety of inter-acting relationships and producer identities that link local as well as international artists and audiences and that may lead to the creation of event production networks. Some networks may last no longer than a single event; others may persist across multiple events and years, involving a wide range of cultural actors and productions. The manner in which cultures construct, use, rearrange and maintain production networks offers insight into how cultures market and represent themselves.
