In order to promote economic development within the performing arts sector, organisations need to first determine to what extent people are currently interested or involved, and what factors promote or inhibit engagement. This is the premise for the proposed topic, which would investigate the behaviours and attitudes of [*a given demographic*]. The key research questions would seek to determine current levels of engagement and to understand factors that inhibit or predispose individuals to attend a performance (cost, education, age, cultural or social values, etc.,). Ideally this kind of dissertation would involve the distribution of a survey, but could be done using secondary data from published surveys or case studies. The latter would take the form of a qualitative analysis of behaviours and attitudes within the selected demographic, with a view to developing informed public relation initiatives. * This could be a region (such as inner city London), an age group (e.g. teenagers, young adults), or a particular social, cultural, religious, or family group* - In the absence of a specific request, I would pick a group based on the availability of a suitable case study. www.newessays.co.uk
