ABSTRACT When financial resources are scarce and uncertain, youth performance organisations find ways to ‘hold it together’: to carry on no matter what. Engaging critically with theories of organisational resilience, this article examines how two youth performance companies in Auckland experience and respond to a precarious funding environment. The local policy and funding context compels organisations to ‘shape up’; to become more effective in the competitive system. Within this environment, however, the promise of sustainability remains ever-elusive. An alternative response, then, is found in the different ways organisations experiment with localised, culturally responsive community and solidarity economies.

团结一致：奥克兰青年表演公司经济的韧性和团结

摘要 当财政资源稀缺且不确定时，青年表演组织会想方设法“团结起来”：无论如何都要坚持下去。本文批判性地参与了组织弹性理论，研究了奥克兰的两家青年表演公司如何经历和应对不稳定的资金环境。当地政策和资金背景迫使组织“塑造”；在竞争系统中变得更有效。然而，在这种环境下，可持续性的承诺仍然难以捉摸。那么，另一种反应是组织以不同的方式尝试本地化的、具有文化响应性的社区和团结经济。
