Conclusion: Reimagining Creative Acts Under Austerity. 330 $aThis book explores what happens to socially committed performance when state systems of social security are dismantled. Since 2010, a punishing programme of economic austerity and a seismic overhaul of the Welfare State in the United Kingdom has been accompanied by an ideological assault on dependency; a pervasive scapegoating of the poor, young, and disabled; and an intensification of the discursive relationship between morality and work. This book considers the artistic, material, and ideological consequences of such shifts for applied and socially engaged performance. Performing Welfare reveals how such arts practices might reconstitute notions of work and labour in socially constructive ways. It focuses on the political potential of participation during a period in which classifications of labour and productivity are intensely contested. It examines the migration of discourses from state policy to the cultural sector; narratives of community and aesthetics of dependency; the paradoxes of visibility in creative projects with stigmatised participants; the implicit relationship of participatory performance to neoliberal productivity; and, the parallels between gendered divisions of labour, social reproduction, and applied performance. It will appeal to students, scholars, and practitioners interested in applied and socially engaged performance, participation, community, representation, the welfare state, social policy, labour, and unemployment. . 410 0$aContemporary Performance InterActions,$x2634-5889 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aTheater 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aContemporary Theatre and Performance 606 $aNational and Regional Theatre and Performance 606 $aApplied Theatre 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 14$aContemporary Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aNational and Regional Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aApplied Theatre. 615 24$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 676 $a792.0941 676 $a301 700 $aBartley$b Sarah$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0872324 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483672303321 996 $aPerforming Welfare$91947566 997 $aUNINA
