Thank you for your interesting and significant lecture. After your presentation, I am very interested in your company, and there is one thing I just want to know is that what kind of artists your company will choose to cooperate?  which kind of performances attract the audience most?

There is no denying that Chinese drama and performance have great development space in Australia. However the huge number of Chinese including International students are their target audiences. How can the Chinese drama be truly accepted by the European and American markets?

# data[].attributes.body
I am curious about how do you find artists to collaborate with? The artists choose you or the company invites them to perform concerts in Australia? For example, some artists have a world tour such as Lisa Ono, their team decided to perform in Australia and then find your company or you know they have performed in other places and you also want them to perform in Australia? and how you work together for the shows?

# data[].attributes.body
I searched the company's official website, and I found that most of the performing arts you have introduced to Australia are classic music. I think there will not be many problems when it comes to the understandings about the meaning and values of some forms of arts and culture like music. So I am wondering what kinds of arts you will introduce to Australia in the future and how do you deal with the possible problems of understanding when it comes to some forms of arts which are difficult for the audience to get the point

Thanks a lot for the interesting presentation. I found that there is a big difference in the number of theater and other concerts. What is the difficulty in introducing theater into Melbourne market? I do think Chinese drama should have a huge market in Melbourne~

As a start-up company in Australia, what are some challenges you faced in terms of start-up capital, developing the brand Castiglione, and financial management?

The company I think its a very wonderful platform to envolve Chineses and Western audiences into the performance and have a arts and culture communication to get further understanding. I just wondering how did you make your company stand out among so many similar companies,what's the most appealling characteristic of the company to make itself so distinguishable.

I would like to know how your company organized, how many departments in your company? what are they

1) When it comes to performances does the organisation serve as a producer rather than an agency that sells the artistic service?

2) In regards to the slide on the presentation, that describes the sort of artists you represent, what is the link, for example between the croatian pianist and Australia?

3) Considering that orchestras put together their season programmes with a year in advance, it must be a challenge to organise an orchestral tour for an artist. Because a soloist usually works on one or two pieces when performing with orchestras during a period, how can you make this fit with the orchestras' interests?

Thank you :)

You have said that Castiglione is a small organisation - how many people are involved and in what roles? How do you manage this with uncertain revenue? What is the structure of the organisation?

How do your marketing strategies differ across countries? Are certain platforms/strategies more successful for different audiences? How does new technology impact on your business model?

Thank you for the presentation, it's very kind to hear from you. I have several questions about your company. Do you know any cultural policies in Melbourne which can promote the China art even the international art to Australia? And I was very interested about the backstage management of the concert, how do you balance the work during the preparation period?

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for the presentation! It's good to know that Castiglione intended to engage the Chinese community within the rich culture of performing arts in Australia. Inviting artists that the Chinese community is familiar with to perform in Australia is a good start. Will Castiglione be interested in partnering and promoting Chinese/Asian artists born in Australia and already have good reputation locally? Or local artists that have a Chinese/Asian heritage?

cause you have said many of your programs is catering the taste of asian communities in Melb, so do you also have any event that target the australian people?

Thank you for the wonderful presentation! According to your experiences of running this company, what is the key part in the process of holding every events? What skills do you think are necessary to arrange all the aspects as a leader?

Although you do not receive direct government funding, how are you affected by any government policies, both those of Australia and the international artists' countries? For example, tax incentives, artist visa regulations, cultural diplomacy policies?

# data[].attributes.body
It is very clever to use ‘Castiglione’ as the name of your company : )
My question is what is the biggest challenge when you bring overseas artists to Australia and how does Castiglione solve it? For example, some artists might not be able to speak English or a certain art form is too unfamiliar for local audiences. Meanwhile, do you tend to expand your target audiences in the future with your tailored marketing plans?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm curious about in the process of your company selecting overseas artists to perform in Australia, will the artist's popularity be considered first, or can the artist convey local culture be considered first?

How does your company perform and advertise in Australia, how does it use Australia’s cultural policies or local government support to maximize the company’s revenue?

Thank you for coming to speak to us! Do you think in the future your organisation will not only focus on bringing artists to Australia, but to other international locations?

I am wondering how your company chooses and defines international arts or artists when inviting them and promoting them to Australia. (like what kinds of concepts or arts do your company point out?) And what is your expectation of bring global arts to Australia? Are you trying to raise diverse and cohesive communities in Australia with engaging with arts from different cultural background?

You spoke about a specific target audience (the Asian community), which I understand to be more of a short/medium term objective. You also stated fostering cross-cultural creative collaboration as one of your main priority. But I wonder about shifting this outreach to the demand side: do you envisage any future outreach programs to reach other local communities - potentially from different socio-economic backgrounds?

Thank you for your presentation. I was wondering if you are interested in connecting Australian artists with the international artists, to further collaborative relationships across borders and foster future opportunities for both the local and international artists, both here and back in the international artists' home countries?
