2016, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Arts Policy and Administration.
This case study explores the management process through which arts leaders from different fields build a partnership for an interdisciplinary production through entrepreneurial programming. I integrate existing models to build an analytical framework to understand the partnership process in three dimensions: the innovative programming, the entrepreneurial leadership transformation, and the organization development measured by the triple bottom line principle. The unprecedented success of the multimedia performance in question shows an approachable example for arts leaders to understand the importance of entrepreneurial strategies, competencies and tactics to strengthen leadership and organization development. Specifically, I conduct a case study of the residency theatre Shadowbox Live with the Columbus Museum of Art, both in Columbus, and the key attributes that made this successful partnership possible. I identify three key attributes during the partnership: the artistic and managerial preparation to form a new venture through trust-building, the recombination of resources from both fields including technology adoption, and the flexibility and adaptability of arts leadership towards entrepreneurship. This study documents the administrative aspects of the innovative interdisciplinary arts making and encourages collaborative works that involve cross-boundary conversations, civic engagement and expanded access of art.
