HOW TO START
So... I have tried a thousand times to come up with an appropriate research question. Every time I think I have one nailed on I read a piece of literature and my mind completely changes again. What I do know is I want to talk about unpaid work within the performing arts industry, Specifically looking at new graduates who have taken part in unpaid work and what their perspectives of it are now. During a focus group for module 2 we discussed unpaid work. below are some questions people mentioned they thought about before partaking in unpaid work: are you being exploited in someway? Self awareness- do you understand what you are partaking in? how does unpaid work mentally effect you if you have to work a normal 9-5 at the same time to fund it? it doesn't seem acceptable in other industries, so why is acceptable in ours? would they pay someone else in the cast who had more experience? if they would why would they not pay you if you are doing the same job? will it benefit you career i
