This is a long post about the academic job market and part of what we’ll be looking at is the percentage of PhDs in Theatre and Performance Studies who have gotten hired into various types of labor and the ways that people have moved in and out of the academy from 2011-2020.

“We have all lost people in the past year, lost each other and community,” Walsh said. “…I think the preciousness of life is forefronted in this production — how precious and temporal life is, our existence is.” mlive.com/news/ann-arbor…

It’s a simple request. Not 4 me, but 4 the amazing global digital community out there over last 18mos. As we return, thank these innovators 4 all of their work that (1) got many artists paychecks (2) pushed envelope of storytelling, (3) were vulnerable by experimenting publicly.

I teach this every year in my classes

🎭 Saw a fantastic performance of Julius Caesar tonight at Stanford University (via Stanford TAPS). Especially loved the modern take + incorporation of "citizen journalism" (cast members were filming key events on their cell phones, with the footage taps.stanford.edu/caesar
