The Dance of Professionalisation for Survival
The Dance of Professionalisation for Survival is a series of useful, distinct, moves each attached to creative-economy buzzwords such as ‘speaking the language’, ‘social media strategy’ and ‘stakeholders’. This is a dance created for catharsis when working under late capitalism. Created in collaboration with Clara Potter-Sweet. We are available to perform the dance live.
You can learn the moves for the Dance by watching the tutorial videos below (words with a * don’t have a video yet), and use it to find catharsis in your administrative and business life. If you would like to perform the dance publicly please get in touch and we will think about it together.
