Here are a few posts from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time:
Guest Editorial: Kansas City Should Be a Safe Place to Work for all Theatre Professionals
PerformInk: Kansas City Theatre is at a cracking point. With the November 2018 article in the Pitch by Liz Cook, more actors and professionals in KC Theatre are discussing sexual harassment and similar abuses. The biggest gap, as confirmed in Cook’s article, is there is no one to go to when something happens. The distance from other major theater hubs and the large number of non-equity and non-profit houses in KC contribute to a sense of isolation and lack of proper recourse.
Why Can’t I Be Both?
StateraArts: America hates fat people, specifically fat womxn and femmes. Our rampant diet-crazed culture equates self worth with waist size. Commercials celebrate post-diet bodies like prizes, magazines promise ways to lose 30 lbs in 30 days, and even Instagram touts some secret tea that will flatten your tummy. If you aren’t getting hefty servings of body-shame from the media, chances are you are being force-fed the same rhetoric by friends and family via grandmothers talking about the newest fad diet they are trying, friends asking which dress makes them look less fat, and mothers stressing over getting their “good” figure back. This inherited hate has been passed down for so many generations that we waste no time passing it on and teaching children there is always a better way to have a body. So what happens when your body is your business? Your livelihood?

The Interval: The theatre industry is increasingly full of multi-hyphenates, and most often, this means younger artists who don’t limit themselves to just one discipline. Fewer and fewer people are just playwrights, just directors, or just actors anymore, preferring to explore multiple creative pursuits. It allows people to stay flexible in a challenging industry.
Take this test to figure out how tone-deaf you are
The Verge: Over at Harvard University, the department of psychology has opened a new lab to study the science of music. While this is sure to lead to plenty of interesting research in the future, the important takeaway from this news is that the Music Lab has created a citizen science platform where the general public can take various music quizzes and contribute to research.
