• Is Upright Citizens Brigade Circling The Drain?

  25-06-2019 21:04 via feedproxy.google.com
  Just three years ago, it seemed (at least to the outside world) that the company was turning into an improv empire: multiple locations in NYC and LA, a TV deal, corporate workshops, thousands of paying students, and hundreds of comic actors willing to perform for free. Now some of those locations are closing, staff are being laid off, and the owners signed a lease on a new flagship space without knowing that the company was running at a deficit. Writer Seth Simons looks at whether UCB can be sa

• Is It Time To Boot Renoir From The “Great Artists” Canon?

  25-06-2019 20:34 via feedproxy.google.com
  Sebastian Smee: “I ask this knowing it is the wrong question. It is wrong not justbecause huge numbers of people think Renoir is, in fact, great, as wellas adorable, joyous and life-affirming. But also because, for many of the rest of us, Renoir is not ‘less than great.’ He is awful. Hideous. Beyond the pale.” – Washington Post

• What Happens To Modern Dance Companies — And What Happens To Modern Dance Itself — When The Founders Are Gone?

  25-06-2019 20:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  Joan Acocella: “A lot of modern-dance companies are talking about ‘legacy’ and trying to come up with ways to perpetuate it. Why? Well, the art form is more than a century old. Many modern-dance companies are now big institutions, prestigious features of our cultural landscape. If they disband, a ton of people will lose their jobs. More important, there will no longer be anyone to perform the dances properly, in the style passed down through generations of dancers. The work wi

  Encouraging distinctly American artistic habits stands a chance ofmaking art more accessible without making it unserious or “middlebrow.”The arts are so irrelevant to most Americans’ lives in no small partbecause they have diverted so sharply from that tradition.

• Has Magic Been Displaced By Science? Not At All

  25-06-2019 18:31 via feedproxy.google.com
  Far from having evaporated, ‘folkloric disenchantment’ is still common today in the writings of self-described magicians, shamans and witches. But we also find its analogue in academic disciplines. In this academic version of the myth, nostalgia for vanished magic has been replaced by the idea that a scientific worldview has stepped in to replace more primitive folk-belief systems. – Aeon

  He’d completed a doctorate in literature at Cambridge and wasn’t sure what to do with himself next when, on a visit to London, he saw the 17th-century woodcarvings by Grinling Gibbons in St. James’s Church, Piccadilly. He was so amazed by them that he taught himself the craft, and he got so good that he was eventually commissioned to recreate some of Gibbons’s own work, lost in the 1986 fire at Hampton Court Palace. – The New York Times

  Not, argues David Sims, that you could tell from the big New York Times package on the future of movies. We need to keep in mind that “Netflix is still a young company, one that’s sitting on a mountain of debt and creating new film and TV at a rate that feels unsustainable,” that studios are building their own streaming services to compete with Netflix, and that last year’s box office grosses from actual cinemas were the biggest ever. – The Atlantic
