the dancing plague
Collectivity and co-creation over artistry and authorship
Centrality of performer will play out in an interesting way over the next year or two with few live events
I think the fact we’re all contained, restriction on lifestyle, means lifestyles aren’t so sellable, and so the value comes back to the art in a more direct way
There’s already plenty of chat about the decline of the influencer even before lockdown, that’ll be much steeper now. The logical next step in the breakdown of trust of authority
We’re all together in this grim present that looks forward to a future where we can return to the old ways. In terms of where we escape to, for many it will be virtual but also look at current prostest in Ohio and many places across the US, the disobedient aspects of rave and 60s counterculture are interesting in this respect. This containment and pressure from economic hardship resulting in a creative eruption
And then there’s literal dance mania, the dancing plague, epidemic hysteria . Theorised by some as a response to stress and trauma
Interesting to think about in an age of conspiracy and misinformation and extreme stress
