TEN CENTS A DANCE

What happens when you are forced to come face-to-face with your locally-grown performance? The Bitchuationist asked several fellow artists to join her in setting up a performance "farmer's market" at the Relation and Participation: Key Concepts in Performance at Aberystwyth Arts Centre in May 2011. A trust-based hair salon, a one-man archive, a storytelling collective and a one-on-one artist were all asked to set their performances to a series of prices on a menu like this one.
 
She then bought an industry-standard fruit market stall and took it to popular music and arts hotbed Green Man Festival (2011), where over the course of 4 days, she and 4 other artists worked in shifts to sell their performances to festival punters, all the while keeping a dialogue with the customers as to how we price artistic acts.
