The Gig Economy: How to be a Starving Artist (pandemic not required)

Join Nina, BA, and special guest Moriah Joy as they discuss the pros and cons of working as an independent contractor in the gig economy that is the professional performing arts world. They discuss taking gigs, paying taxes, providing your own insurance, and what everyone is doing now that we are all out of work in some way, shape, or form. Our community feature this week is Joanna Eleftheriou, who’s debut book, This Way Back, releases this October (hopefully I picked all the right words there). You can check out her work (and her new book) at https://www.joannaeleftheriou.com/, and follow her on Twitter @joannaessayist and Instagram @joannaessayist. You can leave us a voicemail at 757-632-3281 to tell us more about your experiences with the gig economy (or anything else for that matter, as long as it’s under 3 minutes). Follow the theater on Facebook @LittleTheatreNorfolk and Instagram @Little_Theatre_Norfolk for updates on all of our digital offerings!
