AI & the Performing Arts
AI is often regarded with suspicion in the arts. Here are some common questions we thought might be helpful.
Want to deepen your AI understanding? We created a free, easy-to-follow AI Glossary . You can also download the glossary as a PDF to share with your team — or print it out and pin it to the wall. #AnalogTilWeDie
What’s the easiest way to reduce admin around rehearsal scheduling?
There are simple digital tools that can centralise schedules, send reminders, and reduce missed communication. The right choice depends on the size of your team and style of work.
We help you select and adapt a system that actually fits performing arts, not just business offices.
How can a small festival use technology for marketing without a big budget?
Basic AI-supported tools can suggest content ideas, help plan posts, and target audiences more effectively. Even a small investment can stretch further when used smartly.
The strategy matters more than the tool — which is where our guidance comes in.
Is AI safe to use for ticketing or contracts?
Most platforms follow standard data security and privacy practices, but every arts organisation has different sensitivities around audiences and partners.
We help you weigh risks and benefits and choose the safest path.
What’s an example of saving money with automation in the arts?
Replacing repetitive admin tasks with even light automation often saves hours each week. That translates into more staff time for creative work.
We review your workflows and calculate where the biggest gains are hiding.
Can AI help with funding proposals or grant writing?
Yes, AI can help structure drafts, surface key language, and keep track of deadlines. But funding applications always need a human voice.
We show you how to use AI as an assistant while keeping your artistic identity front and centre.
What are the ethical concerns of using AI in creative work?
Questions around authorship, originality, and bias always come up. For performing arts, it is about ensuring technology supports rather than replaces creativity.
We help teams frame these conversations constructively so they stay ahead of policy and audience expectations.
