before breakfast we talked about the furthest visible point before it all disappeared examines the construct of objects that are informed by a relation to space, time and materiality. According to Bruno Latour, objects exist in the axis of their networks and bring with them a sense of connectedness, or an expanded anamnesis triggered by their ambiguous qualities.

[Ada_list] Performance Ethics Working Group Podcasts

Hi, I'd like to share with ADA the recently completed Performance
Ethics Working Group Podcasts. Enjoy listening.

The Performance Ethics Working Group has been talking to people about
ethics and performance for the last two years and now we've gone
public with the results in a series of podcasts that look at what
ethics has to do with performance. Investigating the legacy of
transgressive performance art, the ethics of working with communities,
traditional knowledges and audiences, not to mention the ethics of how
performers are treated and paid the podcasts address some of the most
complex issues confronting contemporary theatre, dance and visual arts
practitioners today.

Drawing from their direct experiences of making, commissioning and
viewing performance work, the participants discuss these complex
questions using concrete examples, exposing their failures to secure
the wellbeing of audiences, communities and performers alongside their
successes.

There are nine podcasts in total bringing together the voices of 23
different creators, directors, curators, producers, and researchers
including: Hadleigh Averill, Stephen Bain, Sally Barnett, Chris
Braddock, Carol Brown, Craig Cooper, David Cross, Sean Curham, Alison
East, Murray Edmond, Brent Harris, Mark Harvey, Mark Jackson, Alys
Longley, Rose Martin, Sally J Morgan, Moana Nepia, Tru Paraha, Val
Smith, Louise Tu'u, Kalisolaite 'Uhila, Alexa Wilson, and Becca Wood.

Listen via the University Without Conditions website:
universitywithoutconditions.ac.nz/?page_id=201
Subscribe on itunes:
https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/performance-ethics-working/id846935903

Episodes include:

Episode 1: What is ethics? (launched at the Festival of Uncertainty,
23 March 2014)
This first podcast introduces the idea of ethics as a daily practice
and philosophical enquiry, exploring what we think the broad concept
of ethics covers.

Episode 2: How we treat our audiences (published April 8, 2014)
The second podcast asks what responsibilities performers and producers
have towards their audiences and talks about how these can conflict
with the conceptual integrity of the work. We raise the question of
how we determine what is offensive and who gets to decide that.

Episode 3: Reviewing performance art and ethics historically
(published April 11, 2014)
During the interviews a number of historical examples from performance
art were reviewed such as Marina Abramovic's Rhythm 0 (1974), along
John Duncan's Blind Date (1980), along more contemporary works like
Pania Lincoln and Hadleigh Averill's Lunchtime Scrabble (1996), in
which a shooting was too effectively simulated and Mike Parr's Kingdom
Come and/or Punch Holes In The Body Politic (2005) at Sydney Artspace.
All of these works have challenged the performers and the audience to
identify what their limits are, and when they will say stop.

Episode 4: The ethics of community engagement (published April 16, 2014)
The fourth episode explores the issues which research in and with
communities brings up. Consent, collaboration, going undercover and
the imbalances of power between the artist and community are all
talked about while we investigate how community arts projects and
relational aesthetics projects can be ethically approached

Episode 5: Ethics of working with traditional and indigenous
knowledges (published April 24, 2014)
Recognising that the performing arts in Aotearoa New Zealand are
structured and understood through dominantly western paradigms the
fifth podcast examines the complexities of decolonising performance
exploring the strategies we can employ to work intelligently work
across cultures.

Episode 6: How we manage the ethics of money (Published April 30, 2014)
Episode six turns to the vexed question of money in the economically
marginal field of performance. Discussing neoliberalism and cultures
of exploitation, internships, alternative economies, unequal financial
distribution and the decommodification of art the participants speak
frankly of the ways they have approached the issue of equitable
sharing funds and enabling work to be created.

Episode 7: Working relationships within the performance community
(Published May 8, 2014)
The seventh podcast deals with ethical labour relationships between
performers and institutions, festivals, curators, directors and
choreographers. It addresses the issue of protecting of the performer
from real physical risks as well as ensuring they have the
psychological resilience necessary to make specific works before
moving into the history of poor treatment and sometimes outright abuse
of performers in the field of dance.

Episode 8: The University ethics process (Published May 22, 2014)
The eighth episode turns to the University, an institution which has
long addressed the issue of applied ethics in research. However,
these processes were initially developed for medical, sociological and
anthropological research. Drawing from the participants experiences at
Universities across New Zealand, Australia and the UK this podcast
explores the positive benefits and negative effects of submitting work
in development to the ethics committee.

Episode 9: Authorship in collaboration (Published May 28, 2014)
This bonus episode focusses on how we handle authorship in
collaborative processes. It brings together the participants thoughts
on the topic from debunking the myth of solo authorship and
recognising the positivity of influence, to adequate programme credits
and audience or community participation.

The Performance Ethics Working Group is research cluster in the
University Without Conditions, a free university and self-organising
collective, without ties to Government or corporations. We exist not
to produce 'degrees for jobs', but to enable a human being to improve
themselves and the society in which they exist.
