But is this enough, in a time of political upheaval (consider Venezuela, for instance, home of El Sistema)? “The mold is definitely breaking, but it is anyone’s guess how 100 young musicians playing for maybe 1,000 listeners can change the world. Isn’t it enough that they have changed their lives, and that they can go on to change others’ lives? And that the audience, which consisted mostly of their mentors and artistic movers and shakers, can use the knowledge of this success to change many more lives?”

Stage Actors Must Fall In Love, Instantly, Performance After Performance
After a long rehearsal and a lot of planning, actors know how to substitute themselves for the characters (mostly without creating problems for the actors themselves). They can be “clear about drawing distinctions between performance and life. Ms. Grant believes in ‘really healthy, strong boundaries,’ she said, and as Mr. Hernandez put it,’This is literally my job. I went to school for it. I’m not skeezing on anybody. It is in the text.’ No carnal appetite here.”
Korean Broadcasters Decide To Stream Directly To U.S. K-Pop And K-Drama Fans
With a near-simultaneous translation plan, “Kocowa offers U.S. audiences access to a lineup of Korean TV programs from all three broadcasters — KBS, MBC and SBS — as soon as six hours after they’re broadcast in Korea. The service will compete primarily with DramaFever, the Korean-entertainment streaming service owned by Warner Bros.”
Rock Musician Alice Cooper Finds A Long-Lost Andy Warhol In A Tube In A Storage Locker
Yes, that headline sounds like word salad, but it’s real: “The work in question is a red Little Electric Chair silkscreen, from Warhol’s Death and Disaster series. Never stretched on a frame, it sat in storage alongside touring artefacts including an electric chair that Cooper used in the early 70s as part of his ghoulish stage show.”
Actor Michelle Terry Will Take Over From Emma Rice At The Globe
The Shakespearean actor said it was “a dream come true,” despite the fact that she’s succeeding another woman, Emma Rice, whose vision for the Globe was famously undercut when the theatre’s board decided to force her out (Rice is headed to the Old Vic).
When You Teach, But Do Not Love, Jane Austen
It’s because of what Austen left out, and other women (and men) addressed in their own fiction from the time. “As I’ve realized the scope of 19th-century texts that took up the question of transatlantic slavery and the movements to abolish it, I haven’t read Austen the same way. I can appreciate her skill but feel an urgent need to teach and write about these other stories. With Austen as, often, the primary literary lens into her time period, it can be all too easy to forget how deeply invested English culture was not only in curtailing women’s choices, but also in enslaving millions of people.”
Robots Need Morals, But Making Them Read Classic Literature Is Not Going To Help
Hmmmm. “Much fiction and drama will dizzyingly mislead poor robots about the world in which they have to make their decisions. Our favourite stories abound in ghosts, demons, wizards, monsters and every kind of talking animal. Human beings travel through time and fly through the air and get into or out of trouble by the use of magic.”
Gillan Moore Is Determined To Program Classical Music – And Women Composers – In London’s Southbank
Moore: “If we don’t support contemporary composers, their music is going to die. History is littered with people who struggled to get any recognition at all, even people who are big names now.”
Will The Success Of ‘Wonder Woman’ And ‘Beauty And The Beast’ Lead To More Women-Centered Films?
Maybe? “This weekend, with $389 million from the domestic market, ‘Wonder Woman’ can add a new accomplishment to its arsenal — the highest-grossing movie of the summer. It’s also the second largest earner of 2017 behind another film centered on a female protagonist, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ ($504 million domestic).”
A Ballerina Explains What It’s Like To Move From Europe To The U.S.
Dores André, a principal dancer with San Francisco Ballet, “loves life in the United States. She considers San Francisco home. But with her Spanish perspective, she says she would like to see the government and US citizens reflect on their collective past more often. ‘By being a pioneer, sometimes you forget to look back and [check] on your own history,’ she points out. ‘I think that learning from its past could be a really good thing.'”
