The Joyce Theater Foundation, Inc.’s Post

Have you seen the musical "42 Balloons" ? I went to the theatre last Friday to see the musical "42 Balloons," based on a true story from 1982. The production was not only moving but also delivered a powerful message about the pursuit of goals.   The story centres on a protagonist driven to achieve a daunting objective. Having achieved his goal, and with no other purpose than achievement he is left with the task of paying off a great loan, through interviews telling his tale. The essence lies in understanding why we chase these dreams; is it for personal fulfilment, benefiting loved ones, or impacting our community.   Without a clear purpose, achieving a goal might leave us feeling empty. The musical prompts a reflection on our motivations and the deeper implications of our ambitions.   Leaving the theatre, I found myself reassessing my own goals and their underlying reasons. "42 Balloons" is an excellent blend of entertainment and existential inquiry, ideal for those who seek thought-provoking content.

#comics #comicart 💬 I posted on #instagram an old idea I had for a comic panel with some OCs from a challenge I did some years ago with browsers and character design. This is Edge and Opera (Rita Mata's character) in my style. I drew the continuation almost a year ago (never posted it) and now I tried to make at least an introduction to the situation of the older panels.

Inertia Creeps has given me the opportunity to challenge myself to understand the challenges facing leaders and organisations in a 'future world of work' (well lets face it it is a NOW world of work). I am increasingly of the opinion that the challenges in work reflect our challenges in society. How do we build connection in a divisive political world. How do we create actual inclusion rather than a tick the box diversity culture. My next episode features a chat with West End star and performance coach Crystal Nicholls. A really cool discussion on the challenges of being a black woman auditioning for roles, of balancing being a mother and a performer, and of the importance for performers to use rejection as motivation. As always thanks to Lowki Culture for their excellence in producing. Check it out and let me know your thoughts. #resilience #highperformance #highperformancehabits #racism #genderequality

Far right. Not wanting the state to raise your kids. Fsr right. Not wanting globalists terminate countries and run over constitutions. Far right. Religious tolerance and free speech. Far right. informed consent and transparency in policies. far right eating meat and dairy. Far right an internal combustion car. Far right. Understanding extreme weather can and is being engineered as a war without bullets. Far right. Wanting fair elections and no digital id. Far right.  Ya. Just about everyone.

What fantastic news to begin 2024! Fewer than 5% of lead actors in British TV are Black. The Creative Diversity Network has interviewed over 30,000 individuals, who collectively made over 600,000 contributions to British TV productions broadcast between August 2018 and July 2019. Researchers found that people who identify as Black, East Asian, or other ethnic groups (BAME) are making more contributions onscreen than off-screen. Over the last three years, the overall proportion of onscreen contributions of BAME groups to United Kingdom programs have increased from 21.8 percent to 22.7 percent. Despite this encouraging result, the survey pointed out that people identifying with Mixed, Black and other ethnic groups are more likely to appear in a supporting, rather than a lead role. I would encourage you to support black UK actors, tackle structural and systematic racism onscreen and off-screen. Source: https://lnkd.in/eF_UsxZX...
