CLASS – The Elephant in the Room
Supervisor: Eva Elliott | University: School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University
The purpose of CLASS The Elephant in the room is to investigate the inherent social conditions that exist in the creative industries today; social conditions such as social class and eographic location that can influence and determine a career in the arts. It will pay attention to the contradictions that play out where class is consid- ered, and how these contradictions continue to reproduce and reinforce class divisions. This report was first delivered as a live performance debate, and provides a resource for theatres, artists and institutions to use if they would like to form their own discussions around the themes of diversity and class. The performance is also available as a short film on youtube
