This interesting article from arts writer Andrew Taylor appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald last week.
“… on the opera stage, the family jewels are worth $67.62.That’s how much a performer, male or female, should be paid for each stage rehearsal or performance at which full frontal nudity is required.
In contrast, a dancer’s genitalia is only worth half as much – an additional allowance of $35.43 (which will rise to $36.49 in January) is paid to Sydney Dance Company performers.”
Read the full article here and let us know what you think. Why do you think this is the case? And what should be done about it?
