Reawakening the Grand Narrative

Reawakening the Grand Narrative by Jeff Gomez

Excellent article on the tribeca film festival website. Pretty much sums up why I do what I do and why I say I’m re-creating an ancient art form.

Theater and Global Change

Really happy to be working with UMD’s very own Dean of Fine Arts, Bill Payne, on his video series Theater and Global Change. These short videos are a supplement to his online course Theater and Global Change on the New York Times Learning Management system Epsilen. Here is a link to his profile at the site.

new narrative

fascinating
the new narrative is here.
evident in many places

it is no longer our collective story
now we come together to overcome our challenges

True social cost of cheap goods

Watch the story of stuff. Materials economist Annie Leonard will show what the problem with our current consumer paradigm is. This is a wonderful little reality slap that I recommend everyone watch! It’s easy going… 20 minutes or so and very entertaining.

I have yet to watch the other films she’s helped produce, but I see they are available to watch on her site as well.
