A high-quality dance production is the combined effort of artistry and execution excellence. In a modern society where the ability to effectively multi-task is emphasized, it is important for dancers to also learn about arts management and administration. In view of this trend, Hong Kong Dance Alliance and Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association co-presented an art administration talk on 13 Oct 2011 and invited two veteran dance administrators, Ms Helen Ng and Ms Clementine Chan, Managing Director of City Contemporary Dance Company, to introduce to the participants the various aspects of dance / arts administration. Talk contents included:

 

• Arts Administrators: who they are, and the skills required
• Administrators as curators: how to bring out the best from the artists and from the programme
• Be Organized: Project management
• About $ : Budgeting and Financial Management
• About People: Managing the team and other HR/ contractual issue
• Post-performance issues - looking for further opportunities to perform re-run programme locally or abroad
