Abstract
This article addresses the nature of teams and teamwork in the performing arts by contrasting such teams with those in business and operational domains.  This contrast is framed in terms of two levels of description ń organization of teamwork and cognition of teamwork.  This framework yields hypotheses whose validation will provide theoretical foundations to common best practices in training ensemble teams in the performing arts.
