Performing Arts in Changing Societies is a detailed exploration of
genre development within the fields of dance, theatre, and opera in
selected European countries during the decades before and after
1800. An introductory chapter outlines the theoretical and
ideological background of genre thinking in Europe, starting from
antiquity. A further fourteen chapters cover the performing genres
as they developed in England, France, Germany, and Austria, and
follow the dissemination and adaptation of the corresponding genres
in minor and major cities in the Nordic countries. With a strong
emphasis on the role that pragmatic and contextual factors had in
defining genres, the book examines such subjects as the dancing
masters in Christiania (Oslo), circa 1800, the repertory and
travels of an itinerant acrobat and his wife in Norway in the
1760s, and the influence of Enlightenment ideas on bourgeois drama
in Denmark. Including detailed analyses in the light of material,
political, and social factors, this is a valuable resource for
scholars and researchers in the fields of musicology, opera
studies, and theatre and performance studies.

Synergistic cross-sectoral alliances are crucial resources.
Building capacity within each organization and in the overall
community can influence the economic development of the community,
minimize the vulnerability of individuals to provide for their
families, and establish a cooperative set of roles and goals that
increase sustainability of alliances. This book, examines
successful characteristics of community college-business- community
strategic alliances. What strategies and resources are required to
sustain and adapt the relationship for mutual reciprocity and
innovative educational programs that promote community, workforce,
and economic development for rural communities? The analysis
includes the exploration of issues surrounding failed or under
achieving alliances in a rural community setting. The framework
focus is "self-organizing learning organizations" and non-linear
dynamic systems "chaos theory" tied to the complexity of
organizational relationships. Furthermore, these strategies assist
community colleges in becoming more responsive to their local
community. The strategies for collaborative alliances can be used
in other regional areas.
