In the wake of the 2008 global financial and economic crisis, new forms of work organization emerged in Europe. Following this trend, Portugal has undergone a reconfiguration of its artistic organizations. In the performing arts, some organiza-tions seem to have crystalized and others are reinventing their artistic mission. They follow a plurality of organizational patterns and resilient profiles framed by cyclical, structural and occupational changes. Artistic organizations have had to adopt new models of work and seek new opportunities to try out alternatives in order to deal, namely, with the constraints of the labour market. The article anal-yses some of the restructuring processes taking place in three Portuguese artistic organizations, focusing on their contexts, individual trajectories and collective missions for adapting to contemporary challenges of work in the arts. We conclude that organizations are a key domain for understanding the changes taking place.

Sulla scia della crisi finanziaria ed economica globale del 2008 in Europa emergono nuove forme di organizzazione del lavoro. Il Portogallo ha subito una riconfigurazione delle proprie organizzazioni artistiche. Nel settore dello spettacolo dal vivo molte organizzazioni sembrano essersi cristallizzate, ma altre stanno reinventando la loro missione artistica. Seguono una pluralità di modelli organizzativi e profili resilienti incorniciati da cambiamenti ciclici, strutturali e occupazionali. Le organizzazioni artistiche hanno adottato nuovi modelli di lavoro e cercato nuove opportunità al fine di affrontare i vincoli del mercato del lavoro. L’articolo analizza i processi di ristrutturazione di tre organizzazioni artistiche portoghesi, concentrandosi sui loro contesti, traiettorie individuali e missioni collettive. Si conclude sostenendo che le organizzazioni sono ambito chiave per comprendere i cambiamenti in atto nel lavoro artistico.
