  • The Music Puzzle: exploring booking practices in Europe

    Published on 29 February 2024

    This Live DMA research first explores the individual journeys behind the profession, tackling the musical, educational and professional paths of the bookers now on the job, before investigating their daily tasks: how do they operate their booking choices? Where do they get inspiration from? What kind of tools do they mobilize? What are the ups and downs of their current position?

    Based on the preliminary insights provided by this research process, Live DMA now aims to initiate fruitful exchanges regarding the futures endeavours of this study. Contact our Research Officer Léna Lozano to set up a workshop or a presentation on the subject! Email her at lena.lozano@live-dma.eu
