Jogietikai

Jogietikai is an ethical framework associated with the practice of jogie, a multidisciplinary activity that combines movement, ritual, and performance. The term is used in contemporary discourse to describe norms and standards that guide how practitioners behave in training, performances, and communal spaces. It emphasizes respect, responsibility, and the welfare of participants and audiences.

Core principles typically include safety and informed consent, non-harm and transparency, inclusivity and equal access, accountability for organizers and instructors, and respect for cultural sources and influences. Practitioners are encouraged to seek consent for interactions, to disclose potential risks, and to address power imbalances that can arise in workshops and showcases.

Practices associated with jogietikai include the development of codes of conduct by community groups, ethics training within curricula, and peer review processes for performances. Event organizers may implement ethics review, audience guidelines, and environmental considerations. Scholars and critics examine jogietikai to assess how ethical norms affect creativity, representation, and accessibility.

The concept originated in informal online communities and has varying degrees of formalization. It is not universally codified, and its interpretation can differ across regions and schools of practice. Proponents argue that jogietikai supports sustainable and respectful artistic practice, while critics note challenges in enforcement and potential vagueness.
