A 2009 study published in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology found that doodlers retained more than nondoodlers when remembering information that had been presented in a boring context, such as a meeting or conference call. The logic, according to Jackie Andrade, a psychology professor at the University of Plymouth in England, is that doodling takes up just enough cognitive energy to prevent the mind from daydreaming.
Do the Arts Matter? ”There is a connection, hard to explain logically but easy to feel, between acheivment and public life and progress in the arts… in America artists quite often contribute not to our size but to our spirit, not to our political beliefs but to our insight, not to our self-esteem but to our self comprehension. For art establishes the basic human truth which serves as the touchstone of our judgement. We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda it is a form of truth.” -JFK
I saw a show called The Writers’ Block tonight by the cast of the Possibility Project. It was amazing and inspiring. It is everything that theatre can and SHOULD be for youth! Congratulations to all these brave and talented kids!
Hated this musical, one of my least favorites… For many reasons other than the length and the boringness of the topic. But theatre is theatre… and i love being onstage no matter what <3
And there’s something special about theatre friends. something that i don’t have with other friends…
