| Description | A Perfect Day is an experimental performance lecture and guided listening tour through 'pop song schedules'; songs in which the singer lists everything they do in a day. The work uses tunes by artists such as ABBA, Sheena Easton and the Pet Shop Boys to explore how the pressure to be productive determines the rhythm of our existence under contemporary capitalism. Bringing together performative musicology and critical theory, Catherine Ryan asks what types of time are available to us. How do structures of insecure employment and atomisation shape our lives? Is the perfect day a productive one? | ||||||||||
