Worth a Look
Here are a few articles from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...
Happy 55th Birthday to the National Endowment for the Arts
NEA: In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into the law the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965 (P.L. 89-209) "to provide for the establishment of the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities to promote progress and scholarship in the humanities and the arts in the United States, and for other purposes."
Anita Hill On Sexual Harassment In Hollywood And Beyond
90.5 WESA: In the three years since the Harvey Weinstein story broke and the #MeToo movement took off, a new report finds that people working in Hollywood and the entertainment business say not enough has changed.
People are theatre's biggest asset; it's time to start valuing them
Exeunt Magazine: Ever get that feeling where right when you need to shout about something the loudest, the words suddenly dry up? Right now, I feel a bit like I did one night at the pub in the before-times, when I reached into my bag only to find another hand inside it. A smartly dressed man was midway through stealing my phone; he melted back into the crowd as I watched him in mute horror.
The Responsibility of Creativity
Cultural Weekly: In 1981, the Hungarian film Mephisto won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film of the Year. The story, which begins before the outbreak of World War II, follows the arc of an actor who—when faced with dilemmas posed by the incoming Nazi regime—relinquishes his integrity and compromises professed personal values so that he could continue to practice his art as well as to assure personal survival. In every situation where pressure is brought on the film’s protagonist, he would rationalize that his duty was not to the world or other people but to the continuation of his art.
We Need A New Federal Theater Project!
New York Theater: “One of the things we’re talking about internally has been the way in which the scale of this catastrophe — a wholesale shutting down of the field — is only really comparable is the Great Depression. We’re looking at 20 percent or higher unemployment! So what lessons can we find in the Federal Theater Project? Under the New Deal, the government’s super-spending effort that put America back to work in the ’30s, the Federal Theater Project only accounted for 0.5 percent of the Works Progress Administration spending, which, if you applied that to the current bailout, would come to $10 billion.

Worth a Look
Here are a few posts from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...
Meet the Choreographic Interface Designer Who Brings Her Dance Knowledge to Google
Dance Magazine: Designer and choreographer Lauren Bedal has one of the most futuristic dance jobs out there. An Ohio State-trained dancer and dance-maker, she is a human-computer interaction designer. Bedal uses her dancerly expertise to help companies like Google think through how people move their bodies, and designs the choreography that we use to navigate our phones, computers, and other, still-emerging technologies.
People of color in Bay Area theater demand bold steps toward racial justice in online documents
Datebook: “We See You, White American Theatre.”
That’s the title of a document that appeared online following the death of George Floyd — and after theaters across the country started posting statements on social media in solidarity with Black Lives Matter.
Year of the Stage Manager
HowlRound Theatre Commons: Stage managers typically operate in the shadows, committed first and foremost to what is happening onstage. An occupation people used to fall into, stage managers are now setting their sights on the field as early as grade school. For many of us, we cannot imagine doing anything else. The work is often thrilling. We are the first ones in and the last ones out. The personalities, the wants, the needs, the cues, the pressure, the conflict, the resolution, the spike tape, the half-hour call—if it was not worth it, we would not do it. But the truth is: we can hardly agree on what it is we actually all do.
The future of experiences, according to a theme park designer
www.fastcompany.com: Fri (pronounced “Free”) Forjindam is co-owner and chief development officer for Mycotoo, a global entertainment development and production agency that creates award-winning destinations, from theme parks and live events to museums and immersive brand experiences worldwide. She spoke to Doreen Lorenzo for Designing Women, a series of interviews with brilliant women in the design industry.
Can laughter be lethal?: Dr. Linsey Marr on aerosol transmission of COVID
DC Metro Theater Arts: I first learned of Dr. Linsey Marr when I read a startling opinion piece that appeared in the New York Times July 30: As “a civil and environmental engineer who studies how viruses and bacteria spread through the air,” she wrote, “I believe that the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 via aerosols matters much more than has been officially acknowledged to date.”

Worth a Look
Here are a few posts from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...
Aroma-turgy: What’s Smell Got to Do With It?
AMERICAN THEATRE: I still can’t shake the smell of the blood.
It’s been a few weeks since I saw Ivo van Hove’s Broadway revival of Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge, which ended with a waterfall of stage blood that drenched the huddled performers, staining their all-white costumes and the all-white set. But as startling as it was to look at, it was even more unsettling to smell.
Hungary's students are making a last stand against Viktor Orbán’s power grab
Hungary | The Guardian: As I write, the University of Theatre and Film Arts in Budapest (SZFE) is being occupied by its students and staff. It is the latest battle, and possibly last stand, against the Hungarian government’s attempt to seize power in independent institutions of all sorts, including cultural ones.
Irondale and NYPD Use Theater To Build Empathy and Community
thebroadwayblog.com: Brooklyn theatrical think tank ensemble Irondale, with participation from the New York Police Department, will host a two-part zoomcast discussion with past To Protect, Serve and Understand participants, September 24 and October 1, to continue their mission of social change, activism and humanity.
Beware the imposter syndrome!
The Tartan: The imposter syndrome monster is an old, grimy beast sitting frightfully atop Carnegie Mellon’s picturesque campus. He creepily laughs as he mocks the students from above, traveling from dorm to dorm until his fury has been unleashed onto the unsuspecting masses. He sends chills down the spines of upperclassmen; even before he visits them, they are anxiously awaiting his return. However, the monster’s favorite meal — the fresh meat of first-year students — is arriving soon.
Venice VR Expanded: A Festival of Immersive Imagination
VRFocus: The Venice Film Festival has been going on for the past couple of weeks and so has Venice VR Expanded, the immersive digital edition showcasing the latest virtual reality (VR) projects from around the world. Filled with an assortment of films and interactive content it’s been one of the best examples of why a format like this works, as well as highlighting the sheer range of ideas the XR industry can offer.
