Managing Location, Capacity, and Ticketing Systems

Abstract

When we think about a performance, its setting typically comes to mind. Says Alan Brown, “Settings may be formal or informal, temporary or permanent, public or private, and physical or virtual. In the broadest sense, ‘setting’ is a sort of meeting ground between artist and audience—a place both parties occupy for a finite period of time to exchange ideas and create meaning.”¹ The setting plays a significant role in that it influences both the art itself and the audience response.
