If I dance for you and you just do not feel it, who has failed whom, then? Does my heart need to be in it to take care of the hearts of others? What emotion-regulating power lies in care work? Artmann&Duvoisin approach these questions based on conversations between artists and people in care occupations. The on-stage dancers make sincere attempts to feel intensely or to cause emotions, and they approximate their own sensitivity as a valuable resource from a personal and dance-technique perspective, always under threat by a logic of exploitation.
