Company generates the majority of its revenues from ticket sales, not grants that come with conditions
Unlike some ballet companies, which rely heavily on government largess to make ends meet, Ballet Victoria generates the majority of its revenues, about 60 per cent, from ticket sales of its performances throughout the year, said Paul Destropper, artistic and executive director of the company.“They constrain creativity, as they make applicants jump through the hoops . They also make it hard to pivot as situations arise.
“We didn’t have an option. We already had a streamlined operation, with nowhere to cut. We couldn’t increase wages and we couldn’t expect volunteers to help out.” “Our mandate is that art should be inclusive. We don’t want people to see art as elitist. We believe in full accessibility — in removing barriers, be they cultural, financial or physical,” he said.
