我们缺失了什么——关于英国演艺业的观察与反思

Observations on the UK performing arts industry

2011年1月8日晚，笔者参加上海市文化创意产业高级研修班赴英国访学。飞机甫定刚过栈桥，迎面就是放满伦敦剧场导览图的栏架，欣然取阅，便已知晓两周内伦敦所有剧场演出的内容、地点、时间、票价、交通等信息。其后按图索骥如囊探物，真乃世界演艺之都，名不虚传!

London,a city with seven million,is distinguished by the West End theatre district that generates￡1.5 billion in income per year.Shanghai,as significant an international metropolis by all accounts,lags far far behind in its performing arts industry.Clearly, the reasons are complex.Li Duanxiang presents his viewpoints on the current reform of cultural organizations in China and the reasons for West End's success.
