Based on thirty months of fieldwork in Boston, this
book examines
how three recently incorporated dance groups
establish collective
identity, define the roles of leadership, and
reconcile private
interests in social and economic advancement with the
demands of
funding from government, corporate, and private
sectors. It shows
how individuals and institutions negotiate in order
to find a level of
common ground in which an artistic enterprise can
successfully
proceed.
Research focused on dancers who became entrepreneurs
by forming
corporations and obtaining funds to realize their
artistic intentions.
Described are differing strategies of the three
companies as they try
to survive: an egalitarian ‘bottom up’ strategy, a
hierarchical ‘top
down’ strategy, and a co-operative ‘parallel
processing’ strategy.
Each has merits and problems, which are illustrated
by concrete
examples. The ability to innovate as well as survive
is considered,
both in social and economic terms.
The book will be of practical value to arts
organizations and funding
agencies as well as of interest to social scientists.
