@joycexmnr Another complication: systemic privileges give some students access to dance, voice, acting lessons from a young age. Talent alone can’t compete with yrs of $$ lessons. Even if disadvantaged students audition for free, structural barriers still exist. Free arts ed. is essential.
This is why I am so inspired by @RealGDT and his films. Such kindness and humanity in this man. See #ShapeOfWater, and if you can, see his exhibit @agotoronto.
@thornewip @trumansegal Had same thoughts here too, especially while reading fan reactions. "That's not Star Wars" and "That's not Twin Peaks" common refrains.
@nestruck @SpiderWebShow Worst of list fine unless it's used as excuse for self-aggrandizement via witty quips. That's shooting fish in a barrel & is kinda gross.
