Theatre business,
management of men.

Convergence

Convergent, adjective. Converging, tending to meet in a point. We handle the convergence of media, content (performing arts) and technology. Here are two sets of questions we recently answered –

 

How do you deliver the artistic content of a leading opera house through new media, internet and smartphones? How do you associate to this development a top-notch technology company? How does that company pay for the laboratory environment and the prestigious reference? How do the new media impact the operatic form? How does an opera house become an early adopter and even a pioneer of new technology? 

How do you create lifestyle entertainment formats? How do you go beyond pushing the same content through different channels or adapting the content from one channel to the next? How do you offer the consumers to follow content from one channel to the next and to discover content, and do different things with different channels? How do you shift cultural paradigms and transform lives through a blend of performing arts, media, communication, technology and physical spaces?

Collaboration

Collaboration among performing arts companies is an important catalyst for sustainability and growth.

 

Cultural Exchanges & Collaborations. We establish, develop and monitor international touring circuits and distribution channels. We plan and facilitate strategic partnerships. The end result of effective touring and distribution management is the assurance of adequate levels of time, place, and possession utilities in all items of value to audiences. Therefore, the focus of our services is on channel performance. A festival is important, but it is only a passing fancy if the hype cannot be exploited by a network of solid cross-cultural relationships.

 

The finances of performing arts organisations are tight – become tighter. Could you reduce costs by sharing the back office or the real estate while at the same time improving their efficiency and quality of service? Although shared services are common and best practices in business and governmental sectors, the model is only too rarely transferred to the performing arts. Working with a major business processor, we defined a way to commercialise the back office of a performing arts company and exchange costs for revenues.

 

Two focuses, one approach

We work with and empower people to make a sustainable difference. We assist you in the implementation of an integrated art management, which align organisation, processes, and technologies with the artistic policy. The customised solutions unite management at three levels (governance, programme and production) through a three-step approach (design, develop and deliver).

 

This approach is definitely pragmatic, open-minded, hands-on, and to-the-point. That's why we generate results when others only write reports. We transfer know-how in the midst of solving issues - we do not just tell you what you should do or how to do it.
