Riksteatern

The general public in Sweden becomes the audience. The audience can then choose to become members. The members form Riksteatern’s more than 200 local associations which, together, make up Riksteatern.

In addition to this, Riksteatern comprises a variety of other affiliated organisations.

In each county, there is also a regional Riksteatern association that serves as a coordinating body for the local Riksteatern associations and affiliated organisations.

The Members

Almost 40,000 aficionados of performing arts are members. They own the organisation. At the local Riksteatern association’s annual meetings they appoint the members of the local board and may adopt their activity plan for the year.

The Congress

Riksteatern’s ultimate decisionmaking body meets once every four years. The event brings together representatives from the local Riksteatern associations to make joint decision on objectives and guidelines. The congress also elects the Riksteatern Board for the coming 4-year period.
