Author: Pip Cloo (10083863) I declare that the text and the work presented in this document Supervisor: dhr. drs. A.C.C.

W. van der Aa The Faculty of Economics and Business is responsible solely for the supervision of completion of the work, not for the contents. Date: June 29, 2015 ABSTRACT There is a high amount of competition in the festival market these days and festivals are trying to come up with unique, new concepts in order to compete. However, inventing something truly new has become more difficult (Schiermer, 2014; Gursoy et al., 2009). Co-innovation seems to be the solution for this problem as it is difficult to imitate because of the experience, co-creation and engagement which form its core (Lee et al., 2012). Burning Man is a festival organized in America which is completely based on co-creation and could offer as an example for the Dutch festival market. This research has been conducted with the goal to formulate recommendations for Dutch festival organizations regarding the use of co-creation.

Murphy in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Arts Administration September 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Andrew Zitcer and Julie Goodman­Hawkins for their support during the development and completion of this thesis. Their guidance encouraged me to unpack themes and find research in unexpected areas. Thank you to interview participants Will Gardner, Alexandra Kirsch, Lauren Christianson, Laura Oxenfeld, and Olga Grigorenko who graciously and uninhibitedly shared their stories of the Playa. This same group, including Alexandra Piacquad and Jenny Lykken, assisted in my preparation for travelling to Burning Man in 2014 and equipped me with several packing lists, costumes, coconut water, and endless memories. Thank you to the many people I met on the Playa, all of which exemplified the strongest themes or Burning Man and helped to expand my perspective and remember that if you can build a vehicle shaped like an octopus shooting flames from each tentacles, you can build absolutely anything. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ...................................................................................................................... 3 ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................... 4 INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................................................

    Cercles 36 (2019 LE FESTIVAL « BURNING MAN » : TRANSPOSITION DES HAPPENINGS CONTRE-CULTURELS DES ANNÉES SOIXANTE ? Frédéric Robert Université Jean Moulin, Lyon III Some consider Burning Man’s countercultural principles and activities a decommodified haven from conventional society1. If you have never been to Burning Man, your perception is likely this: a white-hot desert filled with 50,000 stoned, half-naked hippies doing sun salutations while techno music thumps through the air2. La contestation peut être politique et/ou culturelle. Les années soixante en sont un parfait exemple. En effet, après une contestation politique stricto sensu orchestrée par des mouvements de transformation sociale tels le Civil Rights Movement, les mouvements estudiantins, féministes, homosexuels et minoritaires se réclamant de la Nouvelle Gauche américaine, le domaine de la culture est devenu, essentiellement à partir de 1967, le nouveau théâtre de la remise en cause de l’ordre établi. La contre-culture hippie des années soixante a ainsi permis l’éclosion de nouvelles formes artistiques avant-gardistes comme des troupes de théâtre contestataire (Bread and Puppet Theater, San Francisco Mime Troupe), des festivals 1 Katherine K.

    LETTER FROM THE CEO I am constantly impressed by the outpouring of creativity and dedication from this community. 2015 was a growth year for Burning Man, as ideas rooted in the ethos of Burning Man took flight and flourished across the United States and around the globe. Here at the Burning Man Project, we work to support and nurture the dreams of people inspired by Burning Man experiences and the Ten Principles. We strive to provide tools and services to individuals, communities, and gatherings working to build a more connected and joyful world. And, luckily for us, there is simply no shortage of brilliant minds and passionate hearts in this endeavor. 2015 was about investing in infrastructure and establishing a foundation for the future. We actively engaged in What’s interesting conversations with artists, Theme Camp leaders, event producers and others to determine how Burning Man Project can best assist and support them in creating and cultivating Burning Man culture in the world. We worked to develop systems about Burning Man and processes to help people have a broader and deeper positive impact with their effort. is you have a chance “ And we officially welcomed Burners Without Borders under our roof.
