STILL KICKING: AGING PERFORMING ARTISTS IN NYC AND LA METRO AREAS: INFORMATION ON ARTISTS IV
"To focus on older artists means, of course, to take into account the artist’s entire career and the larger macrocosm that makes up the art world. For performing artists, the landscape is treacherous. Largely dependent on others to hire them, they risk obsolescence by technology, animation, and cyberspace. Additionally, different kinds of performing artists face different obstacles to their career development: singers may not come into their voices and thus their careers until their mid-30s; many dancers are transitioning out of active dance at the same age.”
