  • Having a Personal (Performance) Practice: Dance Artists' Everyday Work, Support, and Form

  • Anne Schuh
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    23 April 2019, pp. 79-94

  • Personal Performance Practice (PPP) refers to a regular activity—differentiated from training and production—popular among contemporary dance artists. Against the backdrop of contemporary neoliberal working conditions, this article analyzes PPP by applying the ambivalent notion of “support” in order to show how PPP makes the daily work of dance visible, encouraging a discussion on the sustaining systems of dance. Framing this argument is the notion that in the long run, practice brings about shifts in style and in the aesthetics of dancing. The article thus calls for an acknowledgment of dance artists’ everyday work.

Afterword

  • Zones of Production in Possible Worlds: Dance's Precarious Placement, an Afterword

  • Jane C. Desmond
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    23 April 2019, pp. 96-101

  • This essay investigates dance's “conditions of possibility” to argue that while dance and dancing is, in some ways unique, it many other ways it is similar to other types of labor. These types of labor function not simply as a job, or even career, but also as a “calling,” in the sense that they provide a core part of an individual's identity in the world and organize their life practices. Key dimensions of dance's labor which influence its precarity include the status of the arts in a particular social formation, the role of the state, the functioning of an informal economy, and the tension between art's marginalization and its simultaneous valuation as “priceless” cultural commodity.
