On Tuesday night, Yolanda Bonnell's play 'bug' opens for a two-week run at Theatre Passe Muraille, and only certain critics have been invited.It’s a basic principle of mainstream cultural journalism that artists should not pick which critics review them.
. No reviewers were invited to that show – though “love letters” were solicited from Indigenous women. “I saw the effect of that," Bonnell said. And, of course, that lens can also distort. I cringe now at a dismissive review I wrote back in 2008, comparing a run-of-the-mill production ofat Soulpepper with what I did not even realize was one of the first all-Indigenous performances of Shakespeare, a Native Earth Performing Arts adaptation of. “Shakespeare done right – and wrong,” the headline read. That was theatre criticism done wrong.
GlobeArts Sounds racist
GlobeArts Simple fcking racism. How hard is that?
GlobeArts Why is the media asking how the media should respond? Bizarre
GlobeArts Respond same way as you would to a racist. if Media wants inclusive society then start treating every one same even during criticism.
GlobeArts Let them have the 'non white critics' and enforce the point that this was deliberately asked for.
acoyne GlobeArts Art is for everyone so tell them to go take a flying leap
GlobeArts Racist!!
GlobeArts Pretty sure this started with feminists and Brie Larsen....
acoyne GlobeArts I'm told my ancestors, quite a few centuries back, came from Africa. I'm not as 'white' as some Swedes. How do I know if I qualify? Am I too pink? Do I need a percentage of something in my genes?
GlobeArts Restrict their sales to only non white purchasers. Let them produce their work in cities without white taxpayers. Or call them out for being the racists that they are.
GlobeArts No one should review them.
GlobeArts Ask them why they are so racist? That would be my first question.
GlobeArts You should respond the same way you would if they requested only whites to review them. Because they are racist. How is this even a debate for the media?
GlobeArts Say no that’s racism...
GlobeArts Here for hire!
GlobeArts white people are people too, why is it ok to even ask this inane question. racism is racism.
GlobeArts 😂😂😂
GlobeArts If you had any integrity you'd ignore them cuz this is just straight up racist. sadly, I think you'll play along
GlobeArts She makes an interesting and perhaps valid although puzzling unartistic argument. Using the same reasoning, she should request that only non-whites attend the play as, again using her logic, whites are incapable of understanding the play in the manner she apparently demands.
GlobeArts Its obvious her crap isn't worth watching.
GlobeArts Call them out as the racist they are and ignore them from that point on They shouldn't even be getting the attention they are with this article
GlobeArts They should tell them to F off and that everyone is subject to criticism 🙄
GlobeArts No. Any time you turn it around and it becomes racist, it was always racist. Quit fanning the flames.
acoyne GlobeArts They should respond by doing their $&ing jobs and get a nonwhite critic for once in the history of western civilization. Sheesh! And I must say it's deeply ignorant to even publish a thought-piece about such a retrograde bugaboo.
GlobeArts A flat out boycott. This IS, wait for it... racist
GlobeArts Indifference and disregard. Maybe it will eventually go away because of an obvious lack of talent.
GlobeArts The same way they would if an artist asks for only white critics !
