現代科技發展突飛猛進,拉近了國與國之間的距離,國際交流日益頻繁,上從國家下至各項產業均面臨到競爭全球化的課題。在政治因素影響下,台灣在國際社會中所面臨到的問題與挑戰更是嚴苛,為了在世界舞台上突顯台灣形象,文化外交成為一項突破外交困境的工具。政府在2002年推動「挑戰二○○八國家發展重點計畫」,以「文化產業化、產業文化化」之口號,提出文化創意產業發展計畫,目的在建設整體的文化創意產業環境,讓台灣的文化界與企業界能夠藉著政府所輔導的各項有利條件,讓各項產業蓬勃發展。然而要讓台灣文化在國際舞台上發聲,除了有偉大的理想抱負外,更要有實際的作為,必須真正建構出通往國際舞台的橋樑,才能成功「出口」台灣文化。 與台灣位處相同的亞洲戰略位置的澳洲,近年來亟欲發展文化出口,並藉由政策訂定與撥款,整合各部門資源,以促進藝術文化之國際發展。為了探究澳洲表演藝術國際發展支援體系之構成與實際運作狀況,本文將探討澳洲公部門與第三部門之於其表演藝術國際發展支援體系的角色與功能,並藉由澳洲表演藝術團體的實務觀點,剖析此支援體系之實際運作現況與優、缺點。
The development of modern science and technology, progressing by leaps and bounds, has pulled closer the distance between countries. International commercial and cultural exchange is now a day to day reality that every industry is facing the global competition. Under Taiwan’s current political situation, the challenge that Taiwan faces in the international society is severe. In order to promote Taiwanese image on the world stage, cultural diplomacy becomes a breakthrough tool. The government impels "Challenge 2008 ─Council for Economic Planning and Development" from 2002 by the slogan “Developing cultural industries, and bringing culture into industry” and proposed the Cultural and Creative Industry Development Plan. Its’ goal is to improve the whole industrial environment so that the cultural and business sectors in Taiwan can develop vigorously. However, besides the great aspirational ideal, action must be taken to let the Taiwanese culture be visible on the international stage. Until the bridge that leads to the international stage is properly constructed, the Taiwanese culture cannot be successful exported. Australia, with a similar strategic location in the Asia Pacific Region as Taiwan, has been eager to export its culture in recent years. The Australian government promotes the development of arts and cultures by enacting policy and funding and integrating various resources among agencies. In order to inquire into the constitution and the actual achievements of the supporting systems of international development for the performing arts in Australia, this article will discuss the Australian public sector and the third sector and their roles and functions to the international development of performing arts; analyze the achievements, advantages and weakness of the supporting systems with the experience and opinions from Australia performing arts organizations.
