Based on thirty months of fieldwork in Boston, this book examines
how three recently incorporated dance groups establish collective
identity, define the roles of leadership, and reconcile private
interests in social and economic advancement with the demands of
funding from government, corporate, and private sectors. It shows
how individuals and institutions negotiate in order to find a level
of common ground in which an artistic enterprise can successfully
proceed. Research focused on dancers who became entrepreneurs by
forming corporations and obtaining funds to realize their artistic
intentions. Described are differing strategies of the three
companies as they try to survive: an egalitarian 'bottom up'
strategy, a hierarchical 'top down' strategy, and a co-operative
'parallel processing' strategy. Each has merits and problems, which
are illustrated by concrete examples. The ability to innovate as
well as survive is considered, both in social and economic terms.
The book will be of practical value to arts organizations and
funding agencies as well as of interest to social scientists.
