Workshop - streaming of live performances
The European Festivals Association (EFA) and Pearle*-Live Performance Europe have teamed up to improve knowledge on legal and managerial aspects on cross-border cooperation. Over the past two years a wide range of topics were covered including social secu
This time, our workshop in the context of the RISE-project will focus on the streaming of performances.
In the digital age, all festivals and live performance organisations have to deal with the online environment, be it in the context of their own website, (live) streaming, social media or archive material.
In the first part, we will present a short
analysis of a mini-survey on live streaming
which was carried out amongst Pearle members in the last 6 months. It will give
a first overview of challenges and opportunities of streaming in the performing
arts sector.
We will then give the floor to our four experts
to hear more about legal issues related to streaming, contractual solutions and
collective agreements, new business models and technological challenges. Two
practical cases – from the pop and the classic sector – will provide an insight
how successful streaming services can be set up.
In the second part of the workshop members and
participants will split in smaller groups to follow one of the “facilitated
conversations” which will each be chaired by our four experts and touch on
specific issues related to streaming:
- How
to deal with copyright legislation when streaming? Examples of collaboration
with collecting societies and publishers.
- What
do I have to put in contracts with artists to allow (live) streaming? Is a
collective agreement of help?
- What
business model to ensure a sound financial basis for the streaming portal? How
can we get prepared to new business models? How to connect best to your
audiences.
- Which
new technologies and tools will influence live streaming in the coming years?
How to ensure the investment for streaming?
- Our experts will give a practical advice and
tips based on their experience in and with streaming activities in the live
performance sector.
