I have been doing lots of reading with regards to career transition/development in dancers and athletes and I came across Donald E Super, a career theorist who came up with this 'life career rainbow'. Below is another version that I like purely because it is colouful. Now I agree that it is a great model for the average person with a traditional career progression, however it is not very fitting for a dancers performance life because the maintenance side of things is not attainable due to a number of factors and if they don't get you, age will eventually. Let's face it I will not be able to kick my legs to my head at 60 and even if I can, a 60year old dancer in a sequinned leotard is probably not going to get too much work, (hmmmmm maybe that is a business opportunity), so I guess it is possible, but highly unlikely. I have also been thinking about Martha Graham's Quote "a dancer dies twice" to which I agree. However whilst I was thinking I realised, if that is true, this also means a dancer must live twice! Every cloud has a silver lining! So, dancers get to have a go at a second career, the first one we conquered, now what next? The world is our oyster. This then lead me to realise actually with some adaption Super's rainbow could work, dancers just have a double rainbow, so after a bit of thought and doodles I came up with this. (I hope Super doesn't mind). So here is Super' model with an Austen twist! See "a dancer lives twice". What do you think Bappers? Danni .X.
