In polarised times, how do funding policies shape artistic freedom? Alice Kornitzer explores the evolving relationship between theatre and politics, from historical acts of defiance to recent restrictions on publicly funded art in the UK. Art must remain a space for unrestrained dialogue and critique. Without it, how can we address the challenges of our time?

Enjoy what you do, and everyday will feel like the best version of you. Think by asking yourself WHY… it brings out the best in what makes you happy. WHYSEEART.com built on this very notion of a custom media journal which highlights what matters in a contemporary art world. The ephemerality of dance and theater was something The Dance-Enthusiast, A Moving Art Project, inspired content.And, the art world asks, where you get your news? Origin? Source?

Was wonderful to see the impact of having arts and sciences come together on the subject of warnings and disaster reduction and having been able to contribute to this work. If we are to improve warnings we need to improve how we communicate, how we co-produce and co-create, and we need to join arts and sciences to do that! This is essential to help us better connect with people receiving, using and developing the warnings and across them. We need to go beyond merely advancing surveillance and detection. #artsandsciences #coproduction #cocreation #earlywarnings #EWS #disasteriskreduction

Searching for a way to grab the attention. That seems to be the never-ending quest. And, needless to say, the key to a powerful, memorable means of storytelling. But how is it made practical? One way is by making the story relevant. Not everyone gets to attend the symphony. Or the theater. But we all understand passion,  drive, the push to excel. And we all know the power of the arts to uplift and sooth and transport us away. These days, that sense of inspiration and escape seems much-needed, perhaps even vital. That’s how the story comes together…by being relevant, connecting with our day-to-day hopes and aspirations. Story. Made relevant. Made practical. And made unforgettable. That’s how we grab the attention.

Video for a project for the Academy of Fine Arts. Suicide is one of the topics that, despite the difficulty of talking about it, is being talked about a lot especially in our time. #videoediting #spot #videomaker #digitalvideo

https://lnkd.in/g5nJqJ8y I share this video which I believe it is very important to have consciousness about our present and future.

A galvanising start to the week with some fantastic new qualitative research from Milk Crate Theatre that thoroughly articulates how the community engaged arts sector provides crucial spaces for community connection, resilience-building and escape. "Arts organisations supporting in the community-engaged arts practice offer valuable opportunities for connection, creativity, and personal growth for people facing disadvantage. These experiences can build resilience, improve mental health, and foster a sense of agency, helping to counteract the adverse effects of a collective crisis. Such organisations play an essential role in supporting vulnerable communities, underscoring the need for increased investment and funding for these interventions" 👏
