Friday Arts. #Springboardopera …reinvents opera experiences for all, in unexpected, inspiring ways whilst providing a platform through which emerging artists can advance their craft. Believing in the transformative value of music, we aim to unite performers and audiences alike in productions that benefit all involved. And how is that relevant in a business forum like LinkedIn? Weel, mainly because, when it is filtered down, Springboard is about innovation and changing the paradigm that is an arts business. If we are going to deliver on our mission, a new type of arts organisation is going to be needed. All the things that relate to a C21 business model apply, but especially things like engaging with stakeholders, transformational thinking, integrated end-to-end solutions, leadership and social licence. To support emerging artists, is there a better way than relying on Government for ongoing funding? Or is there a different way to think about sustainable funding? To bring opera to a wider range of audiences, we need to engage in different ways. Opera in unexpected, inspiring ways… in ways that connect to contemporary audiences in a VUCA world. Opera and the arts generally live an operate in the same VUCA world as, well, the rest of the world. So why should it be any different building a resilient and sustainable organisation in the arts space as opposed to in another business space? This is the other side of “reinventing opera experiences”. We cannot reinvent the opera experience without reinventing the arts organisation behind it.

When we as musical artists and performing arts organizations consider our target audiences, it is critical that we clearly understand the value of our product. A key component of our value proposition, as Yo-Yo Ma, the neurologist and author Oliver Sacks and U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy have articulated, is connection: connection to something larger than ourselves, to profound emotions, to each other, and as Jeremy Eichler posits in his acclaimed new book, Times Echo, connection to events, people and places in history. Music creates connection within and between us in a way that few other art forms can. Developing best practices and competencies in order to create and enhance connection is key to attracting, engaging and retaining the audiences we wish to have.

I have been observing Rabanne on LinkedIn for a while. Top 3 things I love about them are; ✅ Consistent high quality contents ✅ Clear brand DNA & positioning ✅ New perspective beyond fashion For example, when I look at this collection, I see little coordination between each piece. BUT when you put them all together, they are unique and striking! So maybe is not always about #connectingthedots but how we ‘Make difference dots work together’. Btw, they use awesome music too 👍 #bestpractice #fashionmarketing #fridayinspiration

Reflecting on Paul Hodgins' observations, the resurgence of music events post-pandemic underscores the enduring appeal of in-person experiences. This sentiment resonates deeply with me, especially as someone who appreciates digital content but finds solace in the authenticity of face-to-face interactions. My recent engagements with The Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council and Creative Generation reaffirm the widespread desire for in-person connections, confirming broader trends indicating a notable uptick in attendance compared to early pandemic metrics. However, amidst these positive trends, the classical music sector presents a complex narrative. While it shows signs of revival, there's an urgency to address longstanding issues of diversity and relevance. As an advocate for inclusivity, I recognize the importance of celebrating successes while holding the sector accountable for fostering greater representation and innovation. Conversely, the nonprofit theater and dance sectors confront a more challenging landscape, marked by closures and uncertainties. Recent surveys reveal a sobering reality, with top-tier regional theaters projecting a significant decline in productions compared to pre-pandemic levels. This decline prompts critical reflections on programming choices and audience engagement strategies. Furthermore, it begs the question: Is it time for a reassessment of the aims and structure of the regional theater ecosystem? In my view, the key to revitalizing the arts lies in fostering intergenerational collaboration and embracing fresh perspectives. However, entrenched systems and prolonged tenures in leadership positions pose formidable obstacles to innovation. To overcome these challenges, we must advocate for pathways that empower individuals at every stage of their careers, coupled with a commitment to change. As Michael Bobbit (Executive Director of the Mass Cultural Council) suggests, addressing these complex issues requires a collaborative effort involving diverse stakeholders. We must look beyond traditional boundaries and seek insights from disciplines such as economics, entrepreneurship, and futurism. By fostering inclusive dialogue and leveraging expertise from diverse fields, we can chart a path toward a more vibrant, resilient, and sustainable future for the arts. #Arts #Culture #Music #Theater #Dance #Innovation #Diversity #Inclusion #AudienceEngagement #CommunityEngagement #Leadership #Collaboration #Resilience #FutureOfWork #COVID19
