Here are a few posts from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...
If You Build It, Will They Come?
AMERICAN THEATRE: Clutching our phones containing our e-tickets and travel affidavits, we join the outdoor queue of face-masked theatregoers. We no longer bunch up in a jumbled line/mob and push toward the door. We wait distantly and impatiently six feet behind the preceding patron until we approach the motion-sensor door. We place our clear plastic purses on the security table, pass through the metal detector, smile at the thermal camera, and step up to the hand sanitizer.
Art Institute lions, Chicago's Picasso don face masks to fight coronavirus
Chicago Tribune: Gov. J.B. Pritzker required Illinoisans to begin wearing protective face masks in public beginning Friday. The Art Institute lions and the Daley Center Picasso jumped the gun.
Crews Thursday morning installed artisanal masks onto the downtown Chicago icons, a message to the rest of Chicago — and Illinois — that we can handle a little sacrifice, a little disruption of the face we present the public, for the sake of the common good.
Indigenous Theatre and the Climate Crisis
HowlRound Theatre Commons: This pepeha is how I introduce myself on formal occasions. When asked by Chantal Bilodeau (co-founder of Climate Change Theatre Action (CCTA)) to write about the intersection of Indigenous issues and the climate crisis in relation to theatre, my pepeha was my first thought. It’s a monologue Māori perform to embody our place in the world wherever we might go. We introduce our mountain and river first because they are the natural world we all come from.
The need for unique women’s PPE
May 2020 | Safety+Health Magazine: The number of women working in construction, welding, manufacturing and other industrial trades continues to grow. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women make up 9.1% of the U.S. construction workforce. Per a 2016 Deloitte study, women represent 29% of the manufacturing workforce. As the percentages increase, the demand for unique personal protective equipment for women continues to grow as well.
300 People Are Trapped at a Music Festival in Panama Because of Coronavirus
VICE: Imagine: you’ve spent a fortnight gurning to rib-shaking basslines. You’ve spent hazy afternoons listening to the wisdom of indigenous elders. And you’ve lazed on the sand with a bunch of globe-trotting hippies on Playa Chiquita, one of Central America’s most beautiful beaches.
But as you reach the end of your music festival, you realise something’s not quite right. You’re actually stuck here – or more accurately, you’re trapped by local police and their fear of coronavirus.
