Abstract

This essay discusses the question of labor in contemporary dance using the frame of broad changes in contemporary economy that generate some intensive debates on immaterial labor, new modes of production, precarity, and austerity across different disciplines. Dancers around the world are affected by these changes, and this essay reflects on current dance labor practices by addressing terms such as projects, mobility, and time in the organization of work. I hope both to broaden a discussion on dance labor and to map out anxieties, fatigue, and fear that characterize the Zeitgeist of contemporary artistic labor.
