Basics of
Performing Arts Sustainability
Multiple multidisciplinary practical research has proved that ONLY when the four interconnected dimensions that influence the Performing Arts field are considered and carefully analyzed in their local, regional, national, and international levels, the sustainability of the Performing Arts could be achieved!
Why we call "Practical" Research?
Because it is done in the REAL FIELD!
The work of the Performing Arts Laboratory (PAL) is grounded in international field experience—because the most powerful solutions emerge from collective wisdom. Our foundational Performing Arts Sustainability Practical Research, a two-decade-long study led by Maestro Diego Barbosa-Vásquez, has been a collaborative journey made possible through the contributions of over 150 organizations worldwide. Their support—through grants, advice, co-productions, pilot programs, and/or the generous sharing of time and insight—has been invaluable.
The knowledge gathered from these global collaborations forms the bedrock of our award-winning 4D PAL Ecosystems Mapping™, as well as all PAL Productions, Services, and Resources. Today, these tools are dedicated to serving individuals, organizations, and communities alike—synthesizing this collective intelligence to give back to the performing arts field.
