KLS 3551 Arts Leadership Responsible for the course Donatella de Paoli Department Department of Communication - Culture and Languages Term According to study plan ECTS Credits 7,5 Language of instruction Norwegian Introduction Organizations in the arts- and cultural field have many types of challenges, both when it comes to finding relevant performance measures, fulfilling expectations from the wider environment, developing good structures, stimulating creative processes and developing leadership. This course meets these challenges by taking the five most common organizational forms in the arts and culture as a starting point for developing relevant models for organization and leadership. These forms are 1) art institutions, 2) artistic groups, 3) festivals, 4) freelancers, and 5) networks. These organization forms in the arts and cultural field are described and analyzed from the perspective of international research and knowledge about art and cultural organizations and general organizational and leadership theory. Learning outcome Acquired knowledge The student must gain insight and knowledge in how to organize and lead artistic production based on the situation, so-called contingency theory on leadership and organization. Students must also comprehend the history of different organizational forms, the environment, performances, organizational structures, processes, leadership and organizational culture. Moreover, throughout the course the students will learn to develop a professional attitude to handle organizational and leadership challenges in the arts and cultural field. Acquired skills The student must develop reflective and analytical abilities related to the organization and leadership of artistic production and also be open to different ways of organizing and managing artistic and cultural tasks dependant on the situation. Throughout the course students must reveal leadership and organizational challenges in the arts and cultural field and find ways to solve these by using knowledge, theories and models. They must also be able to take decisions on functional and effective organizational and leadership forms for the kind of goals, activities and tasks art and cultural organization have. Students will learn to be conscious of their own behaviour and the requirements related to effective group work through working in project groups throughout the semester. Reflection The course will develop respect and tolerance for different artistic attitudes and values across different art and cultural fields and promote a professional relation to managing organizational and leadership challenges in the arts.
