Dance Magazine: In what seems to be a growing trend, regional companies are coming together to share stages and expand their audiences. These team-ups often go beyond split bills, with companies swapping choreographers and performing at least one joint work. While the logistics of co-presentations can be complicated—with more dancers to schedule, budgets to balance and creative visions to blend—the benefits can range from bigger box-office returns to lasting relationships for the artists.

Collaboration is a beautiful thing. Art thrives on it and especially so when you talk about entertainment. Anything that can be performed, like dance or theatre to television and film. Collaboration is key for these kinds of arts. The collaboration stems across from the people who choreograph to the producers and designers. The management has to collaborate just as much as the performers for everything to go smoothly. This article hits that point deeply. It mentions that scheduling more performers becomes more difficult and dealing with budgets, etc. also become increasingly harder to do and especially so if you are working your side of it and the other side is doing theirs. This would likely hurt the art when two companies decide to collaborate like this and that is why Good collaboration is key. The article also brings up the point that it was received well and had some helpful criticism which is always good because the art is for the people and so the people are a good place to receive any notes as to better create something that they haven’t dealt with before but overall, the collaboration was received very well and just proves why it is a great thing to be doing.
Collaboration is indeed a good way to produce art works that inspires creativity and innovation. The most precious part lying in collaborative works is that they not only communicates with their receivers or audience, but invite every participant, including the artists and creators themselves to open a channel to understanding each other through the whole progress of art making and presenting. However, the cost of communication grows higher as this kind of collaboration mode develops. Thanks to information, media and transportation technology, the issues may be solved more easily. As a TD student, I wonder how I can play a more active role in assisting the collaborative development with the progress and logistics of using technology and management tools.
