Working my way through the Handbook : Ethical Considerations

Ethical Considerations - Different Perspectives people have about something

Ethical Products- things you will be doing to address some of the things you have considered 


True: 

You hurt yourself at work, you are injured

Preparation for auditions

Basic health and safety do´s and don´ts - Audition/On stage/Theatre


Powerful:

To encourage others, how you wish to be treated

No matter from where you trained/come from, see all on one equal playing field

Warm up/cool down your body before audition/show


Difficult :

Everyone gets an opportunity to be seen

Race

Weight

Éthics throws a spotlight on the balance of power between the researcher and the researched´- Handbook - Module Two - pg 33

This has not changed my philosophical thinking towards the ethics of my inquiry. For example, with points such as preparing for auditions and warming up/cooling down the body, there is only one way of doing this in order to prevent injury. Without these things you are at a disadvantage of progressing. However, i found the column `difficult, ethic considerations´interesting. For any other line of work, race, gender, weight can not be considered for future employment, it would be ethically wrong. But in theatre, a girl who is white can not play Motermouth in Hairspray, a slim build young guy could not play rocky. Where is the line for ethics in this situation? I would appreciate others views on this.
