Show Notes

Welcome to a whole new wave of specials, featuring a roundtable version of the show alongside two new co-hosts in Jacob Caldwell and Joshua Sailo. Throughout this 10 episode series, we present extracts from our Clubhouse sessions on the Why Dance? by J-Cast clubroom. 

In Round 9, business is the bedrock of modern society - providing the tools for all supply and demand be it in the arts, or otherwise. As artists however, we are often our own businesses and the bedrock of the gig economy. Without freelancers and the ever vibrant gig economy, the arts would crumble. In this extract, we talk about ways to approach dance as a solo entrepreneur, a business person of your own career and a financially savvy decision-maker in an ever changing, unpredictable and often cut-throat industry.  Join us as we foreground dance in the background!

Soundtrack: Birds - Tyler Twombly | Poison Ivy Yard Work - Uncle Milk
