Philippe Rixhon Associates serve the performing arts – theatre, dance and music in any live or recorded combination.

Creative industries

Four hundred years ago Shakespeare and Molière had already recognized the vital practice of effectively supporting and managing the creative process. One hundred years ago Johann Strauss II, the waltz king, was as much an artist as a businessman.

As the pace of socio-economic change poses ever more challenging questions for performing arts executives, management continues to provide effective answers. Technological innovation and the revolution in communications it has created, are bringing both opportunity and risk in the arts sector. The routes to market are multiplying and revenue tracks are expanding and becoming more complex.

Serving the performing arts in the 21st century means that we also serve –

• the media, film, video, television, radio, internet, mobile telephony, advertising and publishing that channel the performing arts to the consumers
• the visual arts more and more blended with the performing arts into rich, cultural experiences
• the convergence of media, content (performing arts) and technology.

Professional services

The performing arts require management in order to secure memorable experiences for audiences, sustainable platforms for artists, and significant returns for investors. Philippe Rixhon Associates / Arts Interlink is the premier consortium of arts management consultants, premier in the range of clients’ issues we solve, premier in the depth and variety of our skills, and premier in the number of principals.

Our clients know where they want to go. We offer professional services to facilitate their journey, adopting a specific collaborative role for each individual project.       

We provide –

• management consultancy focussed on strategy, convergence, and collaboration
• research and development in partnership with leading universities
• project management from short term missions to complex design-develop-deliver schemes.

Result focus

Performing arts managers collaborate with their colleagues – directors, designers, actors, dancers, musicians, singers, composers and playwrights – enabling each individual to realise their own potential through channelling their efforts into one collective creation. Management harnesses the full spectrum of artistic aspirations whilst paying scrupulous attention to the minutiae of budget priorities. By combining visionary concepts with attention to every detail, companies transform plans into successes.

We have helped tens of clients develop and deliver on their strategies. Our approach is definitely pragmatic, open-minded, hands-on, and to-the-point. That's why we generate results when others only write reports.
