Project-based work is common within “precarious” working contexts. Within contemporary dance, short-term funding opportunities often result in the production of “sharings,” works in progress, and one-off performance events. This paper considers the relationship between the outputs of projects and the ontology of choreographic “works.” Drawing on Frédéric Pouillaude's conception of choreographic works as both public and resistant, I examine entities produced through projects, which, borrowing a term from choreographer Hamish MacPherson, I label “work-sketches.” Furthermore, I reflect on the correlation between “immaterial labor” and the concept of the choreographic work, thinking through the commodity form of work-sketches and probing the relationship between socioeconomic contexts and dance work ontology.

项目、不稳定性和舞蹈作品的本体论

基于项目的工作在“不稳定”的工作环境中很常见。在当代舞蹈中，短期融资机会通常会导致“分享”、正在进行的作品和一次性表演活动的产生。本文考虑了项目输出与编舞“作品”本体之间的关系。借鉴 Frédéric Pouillaude 的舞蹈作品既是公开的又是抗拒的概念，我检查了通过项目产生的实体，借用编舞家 Hamish MacPherson 的一个术语，我将其标记为“工作草图”。此外，我反思“非物质劳动”与舞蹈作品概念的关联，思考作品草图的商品形式，探讨社会经济背景与舞蹈作品本体的关系。
