Here are a few posts from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...
Maya Rudolph's White Kamala Harris Pantsuit on SNL
POPSUGAR Fashion: Kamala Harris walked on stage in Wilmington, DE, to address the nation as vice president-elect around 8:30 p.m. ET. In that moment, the Saturday Night Live cast and crew had just began dress rehearsal for the show, which starts promptly at 11:30 p.m. ET. The mood? Intense, especially for the costume department, which includes producer and costume designer Tom Broecker and wardrobe supervisor Dale Richards, who was in charge of making the outfit actor Maya Rudolph would wear as Harris for the cold open.
Jurassic World: Dominion Took 40,000 Covid-19 Tests to Finish
io9.gizmodo.com: In some places, it can still be tricky to get a test for covid-19 done in a timely manner, forcing you to wait days for results. But not so on the set of Jurassic World: Dominion, which just wrapped a mammoth 18-month production that, among other things, used up 40,000 covid-19 tests.
Antiauthoritarian Clowning
HowlRound Theatre Commons: The clown says “yipee!” We train and warm up so that our bodies and hearts and minds are dilated and delighted—even in the face of armored riot police or corporate security. This is exhausting after a few hours. The clown is loving. We do not disrupt the actions of others with a different aesthetic. When we come upon a candlelight vigil or a die-in, we slowly and silently back away and go play with others.
Putting Rap Lyrics on Trial is a Violation of Free Speech
www.aclu.org/news: If song lyrics could be used as evidence in criminal trials, many of the most famous artists in history would be in serious trouble. Bob Marley sings “I Shot the Sheriff.” The Talking Heads’ biggest hit is “Psycho Killer.” The opening lines to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” are “Mama, just killed a man.” Fortunately for these artists, artistic expression is protected as free speech under the First Amendment.
Exclusion Is Oppression: From Pedagogy to Performance
Dance Magazine: Colonialism and slavery violently disrupted the histories of Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC). White folks appointed themselves tellers of all stories, and their viewpoints have rewritten, erased or entirely excluded other narratives. BIPOC dance artists have, for long, felt this exclusion while being exploited. This exclusion is still the source of trauma for many BIPOC artists in 2020.
