Founded in 1984, Cirque du Soleil is the largest theatrical producer in the world. Originally based in Canada, it began as a performing troupe, where one man juggled, danced, breathed fire and played eventually developed into a “proper circus” not long after their first show in the United States. Combining aspects of street entertainment, eccentric costumes, and cabaret, Cirque has an innovative spin on the traditional circus model. Today, the organization employs over 4,000 artists, artisans, designers, technicians and employees, and they sell over a million tickets annually. It creates and produces events and special projects; and provides creative content for various projects. They are continuing to diversify and expand their reach globally, yet their commendable approach to seek out partners worthy of their innovative spirit has proved painstaking. Their creative process is what allows them to stand out above close competitors, yet it requires many more resources and commitments that often overextend the organization, and they face threats from a variety of competitors within the performance and entertainment industries. I believe that Cirque present day, will continue to expand their partnerships globally, to solidify their position as the “future of live entertainment”. Using digital technology can help make the user experience more intimate. Today, Cirque needs to be able to deliver creative performances consistently, and they need to be able to effectively position
I’ve adored theatre for as long as I can remember. From writing plays throughout elementary school, to being involved in Drama Club in middle school, to performing in community theatre in high school, and to visiting the theatre as often as I could from the very beginning, theatre has always been a part of my life. Every aspect of it engages me: the directors working to bring their vision of the show’s scenes, choreography, or music to life, the actors transforming into different characters through their expression of dialogue, song, or dance, the costumers and set-builders transporting the audience into the setting and time period with their artistry, the backstage tech and crew working quickly and precisely to keep the show flowing to curtain call, and the orchestra bringing the show to life through music. There is nothing like the experience of live theatre, both as a member of the audience and as a member of the cast and crew.
Explain the role of capitalism in the 100-year growth of Nederlander Concerts. How does Nederlander benefit from each of the fundamental rights of capitalism?

Toronto is famous for its liberal, expressive arts, and the local performing arts scene has been in the spotlight many times and received numerous rewards (Henry, C., 2009). Every year, flocks of tourists are drawn in by world-renowned theatre events and festivals. Examples include (Toronto International Film Festival Inc., 2011):
36). The cinema industry is being affected by the fast turnover rate of movies playing at the theatre to online releases, the increasing trend of online streaming of movies, and adopting sustainable practices. Cinemas are facing a more competitive environment due to the growing accessibility of home theatres and evolving consumer preferences. However, the major issue within the industry is the presence of online movie streaming becoming more popular. Canadians are presented with many platforms on which they can access content on numerous devices as well as at home. As the market and media platforms continue to evolve, it is important that each company in the cinema industry understands how to keep up technological developments and engage with their
Cirque Du Soleil’s show in Downtown Disney is a show that I have wanted to see for a very long time. The creative marketing that I have seen has made me very interested in the shows. Many of my friends and colleagues have already seen the show and have highly recommended it. “Cirque du Soleil is one of the rare companies that utterly redefine their industries. It takes the circus’s raw materials – trapeze artists, contortionists, strong men, clowns – combines them with surreal costumes, nonstop New Age music, and dazzling stagecraft, and then ties it all together with a vaguely profound theme like “ a tribute to the nomadic soul” or “a phantasmagoria of urban life”” (Kreitner, 231).

Our company will workshop the project over several months with fine local and regional actors, guiding them to the truth within the given circumstances of each scene. At that point, we'll match this realistic foundation of performance with an inspired, contemporary production designer (who understands minimalism, projection and the abstract/non-traditional use of an environment) to create a freshly immediate
I have since concluded that community engagement must be a part of every theatre-making process. In the professional world, I’m finding myself pushed to think about the audience more actively, and am so thankful for it — both as an artist and as a citizen. Now, as the Community Engagement Manager at Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, CT, I am certain: community engagement is not just something that’s nice to do, tangential to the theatre-making process – it is essential to the creation of the art itself.

Ultra Music Festival (UMF) is a yearly open air electronic music celebration that happens in March in the city of Miami, Florida, United States (DURAN, 2013).In this report I have analysed about the ultra-Miami festival event in USA and what is behind the success of the event. Events rarely succeed or fail it is totally depending on the scheduling and who all are the stakeholders are supporting the particular event. For a successful event there are several potential goals to satisfy and a plethora of stakeholders to involve (Presenza, 2012). Festivals are mostly unique in the events sector how the stakeholders are involved in the events. Media is mainly involved in a group way in television and
