David Byrne on LA’s Ring/Funding in Arts
posted by David Amaral
I think Byrne would dig the way we’re tackling the Ring Cycle! And we’re gonna do it with considerably less that $32 million! (They’re staging the Cycle over two seasons! We do it in a day!) Check out his post here!
Two stand out quotes:
Support ongoing creativity in the arts, and not the ongoing glorification and rehashing of the work of those dead guys.
I sense that in the long run there is a greater value for humanity in empowering folks to make and create than there is in teaching them the canon, the great works and the masterpieces.
