"Skuespillere lever ikke av applaus alene." Dette har vært en av Norsk Skuespillerforbunds paroler siden vi sluttet oss til demonstrasjonstoget 1. mai for en del år tilbake. Nå har vi ikke engang applausen. Kulturen trenger hjelp, og det fort. Vi fortsetter å kjempe sammen for at alle skal komme seg gjennom krisen, men vi trenger også politikere som stiller opp og sørger for at vi har kunstnere igjen når pandemien er over. Gratulerer med dagen, alle sammen!

HAPPY WORLD THEATRE DAY!

“The beautiful culture of theatre will live for as long as we stay here.

The creative urge of writers, designers, dancers, singers, actors, musicians, directors, will never be suffocated and in the very near future will flourish again with a new energy and
a new understanding of the world we all share.
I can’t wait"

On this day and in the light of the recent alarming events regarding the freedom of artistic expression in Norway, we would like to especially congratulate the creators of ‘Ways of Seeing’ and Black Box Theatre. For some politicians and all those who have little understanding of the role of art in our society, here is a reminder:

‘Art should not please. On the contrary. Art has to show where it hurts in our societies, in our world. We urgently need the courage back to pick up this role of disturbers again.’ (from a speech delivered by the Belgian festival director and curator Frie Leysen at the 2015 Australian Theatre Forum)

Many arts organisations have become dinosaurs, failing to evolve to respond to the needs of new work,delegates at the Australian Theatre Forum were warned.
