Strain-Bell Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning on May 28, 1985 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master in City Planning ABSTRACT A qualitative research study was carried out to explore problems of organizational conflict. The conditions and processes of organizational conflict, issues of substantive organizational conflict, and organizational learning or failure to learn were investigated. A variation of intensive interviewing, semi-structured, was used to obtain primary information on organizational events at the Boston Ballet, a nonprofit performing arts organization made up of a ballet school and a ballet company. Six organizational members occupying different positions from the art, teaching, and administrative staffs were interviewed. Five of the six had been interviewed ten months earlier in 1984. There were four telephone interviews, two were follow-up and two were conducted with former organization members. On average, interviews lasted two hours. A tape recorder was used during face-to-face interviews. Thirty-one questions were formulated to focus on substantive issues of organizational conflict.

  • A Study on the Gender Imbalance Among Professional Choreographers Working in the Fields of Classical Ballet and Contemporary Dance
    Where are the female choreographers? A study on the gender imbalance among professional choreographers working in the fields of classical ballet and contemporary dance. Jessica Teague August 2016 This Dissertation is submitted to City University as part of the requirements for the award of MA Culture, Policy and Management 1 Abstract The dissertation investigates the lack of women working as professional choreographers in both the UK and the wider international dance sector. Although dance as an art form within western cultures is often perceived as ‘the art of women,’ it is predominately men who are conceptualising the works and choreographing the movement. This study focuses on understanding the phenomenon that leads female choreographers to be less likely to produce works for leading dance companies and venues than their male counterparts. The research investigates the current scope of the gender imbalance in the professional choreographic field, the reasons for the imbalance and provides theories as to why the imbalance is more pronounced in the classical ballet sector compared to the contemporary dance field. The research draws together experiences and statistical evidence from two significant branches of the artistic process; the choreographers involved in creating dance and the Gatekeepers and organisations that commission them. Key issues surrounding the problem are identified and assessed through qualitative data drawn from interviews with nine professional female choreographers. A statistical analysis of the repertoire choices of 32 leading international dance companies quantifies and compares the severity of the gender imbalance at the highest professional level. The data indicates that the scope of the phenomenon affects not only the UK but also the majority of the Western world.
