No Collar 舞•領子
a dance / a dialogue / a provocation / an interpretation
No-Collar Workers: characterised by flexible, non-traditional work arrangements, often involving creativity and digital technology. Many artists fall into this category due to their creative, unconventional, and often independent or freelance work style.
I’m reminded of Bojana Kunst’s “Some Thoughts on the Labour of a Dancer”.
“The old hierarchies and ideologies organised around the strenuous labour of the dancer were also abandoned and changed the ways that dance is institutionally and aesthetically organised and disseminated. Yet, this change cannot be understood as an actual abandonment of labour. It is more a transition between different labouring processes, where new skills (often also under the appearance of non-skills) have appeared and changed the working processes.”
