The issue of high turnover at Ballet Philippines is a concern that needs to be addressed. It is crucial to determine whether this is a problem or an accepted norm for the institution. Based on your conclusion, devise strategies to either (a) reduce turnover or (b) maintain consistent performance despite the high turnover.
Ballet Philippines is facing a significant issue with high staff turnover. This can be attributed to a lack of promotions, incentives, and rewards for our artists. As a result, many dancers are being recruited by foreign dance companies that offer them higher compensation, while others choose to establish their own dance schools or become private dance instructors. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the Philippines has not fully embraced and valued the art of dance as much as other countries, resulting in limited funding and support for providing higher compensation. To address this issue, we should focus on increasing ticket sales.
This can be achieved by utilizing advertisements, engaging on social media platforms for personal interaction and networking, and visiting various High Schools, Colleges, and Universities to promote ballet shows. Additionally, increasing the number of shows will help promote ballet dance as an integral part of Filipino culture, leading to an increase in income for both the company and the ballet dancers. Moreover, attracting more sponsors will provide support for these ballet shows. Having consistent artistic performance is also crucial. As the number of sponsors grows, the company will have the capacity to provide better compensation for the ballet dancers. Furthermore, seeking government assistance may be necessary to further support the company’s performances.
The ballet dancers will receive adequate funds to support their artistic performances. Additionally, it is questioned whether Ballet Philippines can become financially sustainable. In order to achieve this, a strategic plan should be developed, incorporating the aforementioned strategies. I am confident that with a focus on encouraging young children to participate in ballet performances, Ballet Philippines can indeed become a financially sustainable organization. Furthermore, this opportunity should not be limited to only elite individuals, but should also be extended to young underprivileged children with talent in ballet dancing.
Scholarship opportunities should be accessible to underprivileged children who have proven their deservingness and have the potential to develop their talents. We should continue to actively seek sponsors in order to accumulate enough funds for ballet performances and dancers. Our plan for selling tickets includes targeting tap schools, as well as private, government, and non-government agencies. To increase the number of shows, we can collaborate with various private and public organizations. Furthermore, we should explore the possibility of receiving foreign funding by coordinating with other countries that support ballet performances. In order to secure support for ballet performances, we can personally interact with potential sponsors and utilize networking opportunities.
