Crisis Management in Performing Arts Company ¡Ð A Case Study of the Shutdown Incident of Ping Fong Acting Troupe's "Incredible Country"

People are usually unaware of crises. Good preparation and prevention routinely can reduce the impact and influence of a crisis when it occurs. People are frightened of the hazards from a crisis, but it can also be a turning point for the situation. A good crisis management can effectively avoid crises. Even when a crisis happens, the crisis management can minimize the damage and help an organization to resume its functions which may turn a crisis into an opportunity. Therefore, having a good knowledge of crisis management becomes more and more important in the modern society.
This study uses three-stages crisis management theory, pre-crisis stage, in-crisis stage, and post-crisis stage, combining with the characteristics of performing arts in Taiwan to analyze and evaluate the shutdown incident of Ping-Fong Acting Troupe¡¦s ¡§Incredible Country¡¨ in 2001. There are three main purposes of this research: (1).To review the theories and practical knowledge about crisis management; (2).To examine the procedures of handling the cancellation of Ping-Fong Acting Troupe¡¦s ¡§Incredible Country¡¨ and to evaluate if their crisis management can be used by others. (3).To make some suggestions for the performing arts groups to understand the importance of crisis management. The study also recommends that a performing arts company should not only adapt the crisis management from business world, but also recognize the characters of performing arts. A good crisis management of a performing arts organization is to balance between its financial structure and artistic concern simultaneously.
