Scenic practices have a profound power to transform individuals, communities and the world through the affections, images and ideas they evoke. However, as Fiona Bannon (2018) notes in her book on dance, collaboration and ethics: 'the way in which we achieve our transformative goals is as important as the resulting work that we can finally present' (BANNON, 2018, p. 129 ). In exercising these potentials, spectators and performers need to address the political-ethical issues that arise as an inherent part of creative processes and aesthetic experiences.
