The Challenges of Financial and Operational Precarity
摘要
In this chapter, survey and interview data are again used to report in more depth on the financial and operational impact of the pandemic on freelance and self-employed performers working in the live entertainment industries during and in the aftermath of COVID-19. The chapter focuses on performers’ experiences of the financial consequences of the pandemic, in particular. It considers the challenges faced by performers who tried to access various forms of governmental and organisational support as well as the experiences of those who performed online, providing a detailed account of the operational and personal challenges that doing so presented.
