As I'm sure you all know by know reader 5 was slightly epic therefore I decided to air my views on a wiki rather than clogging up your blog feeds. I would really appreciate your views on my wiki so please comment below!

Thanks in advance!
You have engaged well with the Reader on Ethics - and it's good that you identified the landscape involved. Have you come across any codes of practice for performers that guide you and identified whether there are any conflicts between your own conscience.
ReplyDeleteI found it quite hard to find specific codes of practice for performers. It seems to be a grey area a lot of industries have a specific board allocated to codes of practice, for example medicine or education but us performers are left in the lurch. The closes thing we have are unions like equity but they don't outline a specific code of practice. I think as self employed performers we have to conduct ourselves in an ethical manner we believe to be correct and adhere to the company ethos of that we belong to at that present time, and if we are currently out of work then carry ourselves the best we can sticking to our own moral and ethnic beliefs. I think that performers working for free conflicts between what unions(for example dancers union) and the likes of equity believe. They feel we should only work for a minimum rate which they call equity rate but sometimes as a performer we need to build our Cv and gain experience? I think this can be quite a conflict for a lot of performers at some point in their life.
