Performing Arts Creative Enterprise (PACE) Project

PALATINE's PACE (Performing Arts Creative Enterprise) Project (2004-5), funded by the Department for Education and Skills, investigated ways of further developing and enhancing the teaching of entrepreneurial skills in the performing arts.

The project developed links with a number of institutions, departments and courses where innovative and successful work in this area is occurring and collected, collated and shared this practice. It also directly funded further important new initiatives in the learning and teaching of entrepreneurship in dance, drama and music.

To explore the role that higher education institutions can adopt in developing environments and alliances that stimulate artistic and creative enterprise, the PACE project supported the Creative Enterprise in Higher Education Conference, which took place on 16 November 2005 at Lancaster University. This was the first national conference in the area of cultural entrepreneurship in higher education.
