Forbidden Youth Dancers
Heros and Zeroes || Thursday, 17 July, 2008
Forbidden Kids: The schools and youth groups participated in the large scale outdoor performance last week in the, less than great, UK weather. Despite the rain they continued until told by "responsible adults" to do otherwise. Some groups even sat in the rain, in nothing more than t-shirts, and didn't flinch, tougher than the US Marines. A lesson there to be learned, for some, from our much maligned youth about working hard, overcoming adversity and sticking things out!
Arts Council England: Their "Sustained Theatre" website is another example of a clueless bureaucracy running around like a headless chicken, spending money on things that don't do anything. ACE needs to knock it off with the social engineering and get to work doing things that matter, like developing a usable, accountable, balanced funding system! It also has more bugs than an iPhone!
Dance4: They took [ this image ] taken of All Play Dance Company, by Article19, and turned it into a mushy, over-compressed, distorted mess on their website. To further add insult to injury they printed the image on a brochure and proceeded to put a ridiculous "splat" logo over the dancers faces. Hard to believe a group of adult individuals could be that stupid or aesthetically challenged but there you go!
