@JerroldMcGrath Welcome.

@nestruck Economically UTR piggybacked on Canadian funding, if Canada piggy backed prestige. My understanding was that New York downtown has low fees and little access to funds for international travel. On the other hand, CCA and Heritage love buying airline tickets.

I've been in this game a while now, and it's never been more alienating and distanced from my day to day experience in the field.

@melissadags Saves the day may be stretching it - but Hal Hartley's Simple Men has the surprise:

@nestruck Is that jockeying based on ad buys, personal connections or access politics? Asking for the rest of the world...

[Jacob Zimmer @jacobzimmer]

@michaelcwheeler @ONArtsCouncil Not sure it's the artists that are going to be "taking advantage" - my bet is on the platforms and consultants hired to promote them...

We launched a new series on rent @TheLocal_TO today. Here’s my editor’s letter on own-use evictions and why pretending the housing situation is a universally experienced “crisis” and not a huge windfall for some isn’t all that useful. https://t.co/2UjMvC9zob

E) Once you are in international contexts as an artist, recommending the shit out of people costs nothing.

[Rachel Mars @rachelofmars]

C) schemes that allow artists to meet one another with seeming no other outcome are massively valuable, whether that's taking UK artists out of the UK, or bringing international artists here, especially for low income artists.

Texts are findable with University status through "International Bibliography of Theatre & Dance with Full Text -- Publications" but no mention of that on the CTR website.

Canadian theatre has a huge problem of history blindness... and @CanTheatreRev and @utpress are contributing by not even acknowledging that they existed before 2010... so weird. Can we crowdsource PDFs?

[Jacob Zimmer @jacobzimmer]

@nestruck I think this is even more a note for funders / donors / policy makers.

Thirty years working in social justice and my theory of change is “trust is built in nature, with children and partners, wearing comfy pants, cooking together.” That’s it. Zoom cohorts that cause neck injuries and awkward hotel conferences aren’t it. Be real, break bread.

[Jacob Zimmer @jacobzimmer]

yep

@michaelcwheeler Yes, though Intermission was never part of that. Their offensive tag line came well after the blogosphere eroded.
