In my last words in connection with @laraspencer and @GMA, in case people find me here for the first time: I believe in the power, value, and joy of the arts. They teach discipline, empathy, teamwork — and can be fun for those creating work and those consuming work. (1/4)
I have and always will speak on behalf of the arts whenever there’s an opportunity, whether on social media in response to negative views or in person by invitation. We all have multiple and varied interests. I won’t insult yours and hope you’ll respect mine. (2/4)
I feel especially deeply about performing arts because it puts us, the audience, in the room as people create art and tell stories right to us. We exist together in the same space, we breathe together. The arts have the power to unite us in shared experience. (3/4)
So let’s not be vicious in our response to what took place on @GMA. Let’s ask, let’s persuade, let’s lobby for them to do better. But by all means let’s raise our voices for the arts, as creatively as we can. The end. (4/4)
