The program has grown to include reports, case studies, convenings, grants, blogs, and videos, all available on the TCG website. Behind this remarkably diverse series of initiatives at TCG, its partners, and member theatres lies a core-value emphasis on “risk-taking, reflection, experimentation, and collective action toward implementing new strategies” that were originally intended to help theatres cultivate and maintain attendance and have since grown to emphasize building deep, long-term relationships with audiences as well as demand. Round One of the program took place from 2012 to 2015. TCG engaged AMS Planning & Research, a national arts management consulting firm, to create a report based on field surveys and a series of case studies spotlighting audience development strategies identified by AMS at eight theatre companies. The goal of the report was to develop a shared vocabulary around audience engagement; explore audience engagement models and understand how/why the best ones work; and share these successful models with the field. (AMS defined “audience engagement” to include any effort by a theatre to connect to its constituency/ies, sometimes through multiple pathways, with a desire to enhance the experience they share.) The eight original companies were selected by TCG based, in part, on groups that were cited as “best practice” organizations by their peer companies and through the extensive AMS research of the field.

    The Move to MOBILE Ticketing, Programming, & Marketing in the Arts November 2016 Introduction The world has gone mobile, and arts organizations are adapting—some more quickly than others. According to Google’s recent “cross-device” research, daily time spent on mobile platforms far outdistances that on desk top computers.

And Many More... The history behind Houston Ballet’s 50th birthday AMBITION, CREATIVE SPIRIT, AND INNOVATION can each be used to describe Houston. Quite literally, it’s a “shoot for the moon” kind of city, so it’s no wonder its ballet company has followed suit. From simple beginnings to world stages, Houston Ballet forged its path with grace, style, and sheer determination. 1966-1969 In 1966, Houston Ballet, under the direction of Russian ballerina Nina Popova, planned a limited run performance. Students were trained to perform Giselle alongside ballet superstars Carla Fracci and Erik Bruhn. The performance was a hit and revealed a thirst for ballet in Houston.
