A Martian Among Us
Permalink 0 Comments 0 Trackbacks
Edward Albee landed among us for a brief while at the Arts Education Collaborative organized Regional Arts Education Day. Albee was an orphan - or perhaps a changeling who was dropped into a family of privilege and power. By his account, he spoke truth to their power challenging their politics, prejudices and values - the role of enfant terrible as a paradigm for the artist and his art. Albee is quoted as saying that the role of the arts "is to hold a mirror up to us and say: 'Look, this is how you really are. If you don't like it, change." He claims for the arts the role of changing and building culture.
This perspective on the arts - and his own closely observed, precisely rendered visions of "us" that spin out universal truths - fit well the micro/macro focus of this International.
For educators this perspective provides another rich source of discourse with our students and provides a model of artistic process to be explored.
