In this episode, hosts Danie Kohn and Nathan Leigh look at the still in-limbo situation of arts funding for the upcoming year, the history and unfortunate//unsustainable legacy of the League of Resident Theatres, and the immediate impacts of cuts to arts funding for our beloved hosts.
They chat about why authoritarians seek to control the arts, how we’ve gotten comfortable with mediocre and insufficient funding structures, and begin to ponder better structures for the future.
“Humans will always want to make and consume art” - perhaps it’s the most human impulse that exists. Many of the questions in this episode revolve around support and livable compensation of artists.
