In the performing arts sector, we excel at drawing new audiences to our venues to revel in our captivating performances and exhibitions. However, as you may see within your own org, there is a serious gap when it comes to these patrons returning. It’s easy to label these guests as 'churned,' 'attrited,' or 'lapsed' because to us, it feels like there's been a break in our relationship with them if they miss a season. But what if post-pandemic behavior patterns have shifted? What if it naturally takes longer for people to come back for their second or third visit? What if they still think they are engaged, and of your venue as their theatre, orchestra, ballet, opera, etc.? Our latest research at TRG Arts reveals that first-timers might take as long as 18 to 24 months to return. During this period, they still consider themselves actively connected to your community. Join us for a Deeper Dive on July 25th, where Eric Nelson (featured in this video) alongside Kate Hagen, will delve into the Rhythm of Repeat Attendance. Eric and Kate will share insights on how your messages and marketing can resonate deeply with these patrons, nurturing a bond that embraces their sense of connection. Don't miss this opportunity to transform how you engage with your audience and foster enduring patron loyalty. Let’s learn to love our lapsed together! 🔗 https://hubs.li/Q02GxLN30

After a year in which women ruled the world of pop music and movies – including ‘Barbie,’ Taylor Swift and Beyoncé -- what progress are women making in theater, dance, and classical music? THEATER: In 2002, only 17% of productions on U.S. stages were written by women. This season reached gender parity for playwrights on Off Broadway stages dedicated to new-play production. Playwright Julia Jordan, executive director of the Lilly Awards, created in 2010 to honor the work of women in the theater, notes: “Everybody gets produced now. There’s much more competition. In a good way.” https://lnkd.in/ekD3v8Va DANCE: Within the Largest 150 ballet companies in the 2022/23 season, only 32.1% of works were choreographed by women – although that was up a few points from the previous season’s figure of 29%. Focusing specifically on the Largest 50 companies, women only choreographed 22.9% of works, compared to 27% in the 2021/22 season. Of the 153 Artistic Directors at the Largest 150 ballet companies, 66 are women (43.1%), 86 are men (56.2%), and 1 is gender expansive (0.7%). Within the Largest 50 ballet companies, however, there are only 13 female (24.5%) and 38 (74.5%) male Artistic Directors. The contemporary and modern dance world offers far more leadership opportunities for women than classical dance. A 2023 report on modern dance shows a major increase in female-led and female-founded companies. Of the 137 current artistic directors, 87 are women (63.5%), 48 are men (35%), and 2 are gender expansive (1.5%). Similarly, of the 153 company founders, 93 are women (60.8%), 58 are men (37.9%), and 2 are gender expansive (1.3%).

Women comprise 7 of the top 20 most-performed living composers – in 2013, there were none at all in the top 20. In contrast, the picture is more mixed for women conductors. Of the 100 busiest conductors, only 14 are women, but in 2013, there were only 4 women in the same list. Are women conductors hitting a glass ceiling in a way that women composers aren’t? It is a possibility. There are also more experienced women conductors working today vs. in previous decades. https://lnkd.in/dxJUNsWc #sweibelarts

Concert, ballet ou théâtre… young people in France value cultural experiences more than ever, but are struggling to afford them 🎭 Live cultural experiences such as theatre, concerts, performances and events are a key part of life in France. However, with the rising cost of living, the reality is that an increasing number of French young adults can no longer afford to pay to see culture live at all. We dug into this for our latest research into young French customers of our app, and found that: 63% of young working people say they have reduced, at least slightly, the proportion of their spending on cultural events over the last 5 years. And almost 74% say their spending on these will continue to be sacrificed in favour of other expenses. However, 75% of those surveyed said they would like to increase the frequency of this type of outing in the future, showing that enthusiasm for culture remains very high. As a result, Plum and BilletRéduc.com, the French leading discount ticket booking company, are partnering to call on the French Government and businesses to work together to promote easier financial access to the performing arts for young adults in France. 🎤Céline Haddad, personal finance expert at Plum explains more: "At a time when the purchasing power of young working people is falling, Plum is committed to defending financial access to culture for all.” “Performing arts are being particularly hit by inflation, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. Our study shows that young working people in France would like to go out to cultural events more but they are missing out because of its costs as a result of the rising cost of living.” “Just as we’re making money management more accessible, we’re doing our part to promote affordable access to culture for all and we call on companies and the government to do the same." Have you reduced your attendance of cultural events due to inflation and rising costs? What would you like to see the Government do to support performing arts? Let us know in the comments 👇

Whispers of the Market Symphony: A Dance of Numbers In the vast arena of financial constellations, the Nifty 50 stood as a stoic maestro, conducting a delicate symphony between the Last Traded Price (LTP) and its 52-week high. Today, a subtle melancholy enveloped the Nifty 50, a -1.10% note played against the echoes of its highest crescendo. Meanwhile, the Nifty Next50 pirouetted with grace, its rhythm undisturbed, embracing a harmonious 0.80% elevation. A week-long waltz echoed its cadence, painting a picture of financial serenity. In the Midcap 150 ballet, a nuanced performance unfolded, a 0.10% minuet danced in the one-day spotlight. Over a month, its sway intensified, a 2.60% tango in tandem with the market's heartbeat. The Smallcap 150, a spirited soloist, adorned itself with a 4.30% sonnet, a testament to its resilience over the month. In the quiet realms of the Microcap 150, an unspoken lull prevailed, a 0.00% hush, perhaps awaiting the crescendo of its own financial symphony. Thus, in the grandeur of the market opera, each index twirled and swirled, leaving imprints of their performance on the canvas of time, a poetic saga etched in the dance of numbers. #market #share #pgfinance #

What is the purpose of a dance consultant project? "Dance consulting is a specialized field that offers professional guidance and support to dancers, choreographers, dance companies, and other stakeholders in the dance industry.  Dance consultants can help with various aspects of dance production, such as artistic direction, marketing, fundraising, education, outreach, and evaluation. Dance consulting is important because it can enhance the quality, impact, and sustainability of dance projects and careers. Some of the benefits of dance consulting are: - It can provide expertise and experience that may not be available within the dance team or organization. For example, a dance consultant can help a choreographer develop a clear vision and strategy for their work, or advise a dance company on how to reach new audiences and funders. - It can offer fresh perspectives and feedback that can challenge and inspire the dance creators and performers. For example, a dance consultant can offer constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement, or introduce new ideas and approaches that can enrich the dance work. - It can foster collaboration and networking among the dance community and beyond.  For example, a dance consultant can facilitate communication and cooperation between different dance groups or genres, or connect the dance project with potential partners and collaborators from other fields and sectors." I have no idea what you are talking because I have been doing extensive research, watching television shows, resting and working on my current work. I have been working on most of these projects from home. To learn about my professional dance consultant projects: https://lnkd.in/grms699Q
