Changing Lives [ youth] Providing them with their FIRST experience
80% of this audience had never watched a play before common nding -

arts groups by Providing subsidies / discounts Providing guidance
on how to stage a producUon Providing space for performance /
rehearsal 159 arts groups received subsidies from klpac in 2009 27.
ROADBLOCK Challenges 28. Funding Challenge Why cant arts be self
sustainable? Fixed seaUng & capacity klpac Revenue &
Expenditure + Live aspect of performance means liVle economies of
scale unlike cinemas + Limited producUvity improvement (same no. of
performers & Ume) + ConUnual rise in cost of goods Revenue
Expenditure ConLnual Income-Expenditure Gap 2004 /05 2006 2007 2008
2009 2010 29. Funding Challenge 20% of Sydney Opera Houses funding
from endowment Why cant arts be self sustainable? 35% of Royal
NaUonal Theatres funding from No of OrganisaLon Sponsors Arts
Council England 14 12 12 10 8 100% of klpac funding from private
corporaUons 6 3 4 0% from FoundaUons / 2 Government 0 2006 2011 30.
Funding Challenge Theatre Group vs. Centre (klpac) Funding Size of
klpacs funding requirement unprecedented: OperaUonal Cost RM3m,
Funding / Sponsorship Requirement RM1.5m CommiVed to run 365 days /
year, unable to cut back like groups While groups can keep their
operaUonal costs to min & focus on raising money for programme,
klpac cannot. OperaUonal costs (tech, manpower, faciliUes) are of
equal importance to programming. LiVle avenues to fund operaUonal
costs as most corporaUons are unwilling to give to that component
31. Funding Challenge A Piece of the Pie Arts industry is growing
fast but nancial support from corporaUons and government bodies is
not growing fast enough More arts organisaUons ghUng with each
other for a piece of the arts funding pie Arts is ghUng for a piece
of the philanthropy pie against educaUon, sports & community
development arts being the lowest priority in all cases 32. Cost
Saving Measures NET DEFICIT & TOTAL EXPENDITURE Measures
implemented over the years 2006 vs. 2010 DECREASED - Prot sharing
policy to control producUon losses - Cut back on big shows. Focused
on smaller, lower-cost producUons - Did away with sta overLme -
Less collaboraUons & oered less subsidies - Reviewed long-term
maintenance contracts and opted for pay-per-use - Do less with less
e.g. most producUons are encouraged to recycle set materials from
our workshop or elsewhere - Energy-saving drive e.g. oce lights not
switched on unUl evening, fans used over air con 33. ImplicaUons
Cost of Insucient Funding Funding worry takes away Ume / eort on
actual work i.e. creaUng, nurturing, educaUng Insucient funding
limits real growth not the best talents can be secured, technology
used etc Value of work, value of talents & value of creaUvity
is not going up hence appreciaUon is not going up! 34. Lend a HAND
