Labor and aesthetics in European contemporary dancedancing precarity /[electronic resource] :by Annelies Van Assche. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - xii, 293 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Probing Precarity -- Chapter 3: Field of Inquiry and Methodology -- Chapter 4: 'Lifestyle Artists' -- Chapter 5: Survival Artists -- Chapter 6: The Fast -- Chapter 7: The Mobile -- Chapter 8: The Flexible -- Chapter 9: Burning out -- Chapter 10: Slowing Down -- Chapter 11: Conclusion: Precarity's Plural Character.

This transdisciplinary study scientifically reports the way the established contemporary dance sector in Europe operates from a micro-perspective. It provides a dance scholarly and sociological interpretation of its mechanisms by coupling qualitative data (interview material, observations, logbooks, and dance performances) to theoretical insights. The book uncovers the sometimes contradicting mechanisms related to the precarious project-oriented labor and art market that determine the working and living conditions of contemporary dance artists in Europe's dance capitals Brussels and Berlin. In addition, it examines how these working and living conditions affect the work process and outcome. From a sociological perspective, the book engages with the relevant contemporary social issue of precarity and this within the much-at-risk professional group of contemporary dance artists. In this regard, the research brings novelty within the subject area, particularly by employing a unique methodological approach. Although the research is initially set up in a specific geographical context and within a specific research population, the book offers insights into issues that affect our neoliberal society at large. The research findings show potential to make a relevant contribution with regards to precarity within dance studies and performance studies, but also labor studies and cultural sociology.
