Exploring Relationships between People, Passion, and Performance
Most everyone has attended theatre - listening attentively, moving to music, smiling and eager to recognize the talent at the final curtain. Theatre engages people! An ensemble is a dynamic integration of performers in a production, tapping the inherent energy and skills of members and demanding each individual is aware of how his or her work aligns with fellow actors.
An ensemble, like an organization is a system, a group of interdependent elements forming a complex whole, a condition of harmonious, orderly interaction. Performance is the culmination of their shared efforts. Whenever companies integrate the outcomes of work across many disparate business performances, they, too, perform theatre. When we look at what we do in business as performance art, another world is at our fingertips.
Business and the arts are not different fields, but different aspects of the same creative process.
Nancy Adler
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.
