Description

When we were kids, how many of us were told that we could do this?
If you grew up in the 80's like me, literally no one would have told me I was capable of bending like this. We certainly weren't told that we could make a career of it!
Currently, education is under fire for all the deficiencies we had to tolerate, which is really understandable when we make it known what kinds of things we dealt with.
Besides the linear, box-shaped curriculums, there was profound narrow mindedness, misinformation, and limiting beliefs taught that would squash artists and dancers and make them choose to become accountants and drywallers instead.
If you are an accountant and enjoy that work, good for you, but if you're a singer/drummer/sax player/guitarist/painter/dancer at your very core, and you've forced yourself in to a linear/logic job, it will feel like daily torture to cram your brain in to a routine that isn't aligned with your core abilities.
Right now, performers and artists are being tortured with social limitations imposed on the entire world to control disease...and it's crippling their income and their expression.
If you are in a position to support your favourite extroverts, whether that is to share their work, hire them to perform, sign up for classes they teach, or buy their art rather than discourage their expressiveness or buy something from walmart that 'matches the couch' (yeah, ok that's my peeve), then please do so. 😊🥂👍😉
