"Do a show that is meaningful to you and share why it is meaningful"

From Culturebot- probably the first theatre/performance blog I started reading, and still going strong -

Do something passionate and engaged that you care about – something you would do if you weren’t worried about money. Pretend like money is not an issue, let go and do what you really care about. Do a show that is meaningful to you and share why it is meaningful. Don’t try and trick people with a line of hooey. We see through you. Don’t tell us what to think, don’t try and second-guess. Just do what you do with honesty and intention and share the process. If you care, we’ll care.
- read the whole thing


Some on the "best time to be alive" stuff worries me a little - worries me in that we still really (really) need to be able to critique and propose alternatives, and that there is huge amounts to learn from the other pasts and other, less digital, places.

But the attitude and and honesty parts I think are on the nose.
