Friends,

Let's go full DaDa.
Let's make paper mache masks.
Let's build giant puppets & team-up to move them in real-time.
Let's stage giant, absurdist processions.
Let's do this #Pashit

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

I’m reminded of an Utah Phillips quote: “No one can give you freedom of speech, you’re born with it. And then you wait for someone to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free.”

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

The disabled dance sector is thriving in many ways, but Kate Wyver investigates for The Stage how this is all under threat due to devastating, under-the-radar cuts to Access to Work grants and other barriers to inclusion.
