As much as The Way I See It<\/strong> seeks to be a positive place, one that holds onto the hope for a thriving, vibrant Canadian theatre community and a country that is proud and supportive of its native artists, it is easy these days to become dejected and to feel as though a small few are fighting a hopeless battle against thunderous and powerful forces of negativity and opposition. A few days ago I received word that Statler\u2019s Piano Lounge<\/a>, the site of Toronto\u2019s electric Cabaret revival, a venue that artists around this city were invigorated by and proud of, has closed due to liquor license issues. Statler\u2019s, which housed Cabaret performances seven nights a week, in particular was home to Jenni Burke and Michael Barber\u2019s incredible Curtains Down<\/em> Open Mic every Monday which helped to consolidate the musical theatre community in Toronto while showcasing the talents of hundreds of local performers, as well as promoting Fringe, Summerworks and Hart House shows, and launching the work of Canadian songwriters. The loss of Statler\u2019s Piano Lounge is, indeed, a devastating one. It seems as though with every step we take forward, the powers that be keep pushing us a step or two back. It becomes exhausting for those who have become such powerful beacons of light and hope and inspiration, like Jenni Burke and Michael Barber, those who keep advocating for Canadian musical theatre and Canadian artists, to keep slogging through, to keep trucking on.
In the same way, the government of British Columbia is threatening to make a cut of 90% to its Arts and Culture <\/a>funding, which, if successful, will annihilate the theatre, and the other arts, in that province. Our local Canadian television is at risk of disappearing altogether<\/a>. It is easy to feel as though we are being bulldozed over and there is nothing that we can do to stop it.
As I walked to the library, braving a fierce wind, feeling like the world was crumbling all around me; I started to wonder what I was fighting for. It\u2019s useless. It\u2019s futile. People will get bored of me calling for change, wanting things to get better, expecting more from the government, expecting more from the public, demanding more for the arts and for artists and for Canadian Theatre\/ Canadian Television\/ Canadian Arts and Culture. Maybe I\u2019m expecting too much. Who am I to want to change the world? Surely everyone has tuned my voice out. I\u2019m no one important. I\u2019m tired. I\u2019m frustrated. I feel like I\u2019m not making any difference. Maybe I can just fizzle out, crawl into my bed and no one will even notice.
And then something, yes, humbly miraculous happened.
It was something simple, something entirely ordinary, but it completely melted the heavy cloud of gloom that had been looming over my head. One of my favourite songs came on my Ipod: \u201cGoalith\u201d by Melanie Doane<\/a><\/strong>, and it was like she was singing the lyrics I have heard hundreds of times, expressly to me. I became immediately empowered.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I would like to share her lyrics with you now: <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been sleeping under the beanstalk and I\u2019ve been dreaming of something big.
I don\u2019t know how, but I could swear, I\u2019m on my way somewhere.
(Awake a giant. Awake. Awake Awake. Awake.)
Hey! Goliath! Oh, you\u2019re no bigger; you\u2019re no bigger than me!
Hey! Goliath! Oh, you\u2019re no bigger; you\u2019re no bigger than me!
I know I got something inside of me, just like I know you\u2019ve got something inside of you.
It might be hard, but if we dare, we\u2019re on our way somewhere.
(Awake a giant. Awake. Awake. Awake. Awake.)
Hey! Goliath! Oh, you\u2019re no bigger; you\u2019re no bigger than me!
Hey! Goliath! Oh, you\u2019re no bigger; you\u2019re no bigger than me!
Say the words you have swallowed, see the visions in your mind\u2019s eye
Do what you feel in your heart.<\/strong>
Awake the giant in you.
I\u2019ve been waiting for a signal, for something to tell me everything\u2019s all right.
But now I see, it\u2019s up to me. No one else can fight this fight.
<\/strong>(Awake a giant. Awake. Awake. Awake. Awake.)
Hey! Goliath! Oh, you\u2019re no bigger; you\u2019re no bigger than me!
Hey! Goliath! Oh, you\u2019re no bigger; you\u2019re no bigger than me!
Hey! Goliath! Oh, you\u2019re no bigger; you\u2019re no bigger than me!
Hey! Goliath! Oh, you\u2019re no bigger; you\u2019re no bigger than me.\u201d
– Produced by Rick Neigher. Released Sept. 28, 1998 in Canada. Released August 24, 1999 in the USA. Sony Music Canada \/ Columbia Records.<\/span><\/div>\n
I strongly encourage you to download this song from Itunes<\/a>, if you don\u2019t already have it in your collection, buy her album Adam\u2019s Rib<\/em><\/a>, or at the very least listen to it on youtube <\/a>and listen to it; perhaps on repeat. If this doesn\u2019t fill you instantly with a firm resoluteness and strength in your own power and your own responsibility to stand up against the Goliaths that threaten to tear you down, find another song that you connect to more ardently and pump it into your ears, blast it, and belt along to it, surround yourself in it and allow it to inflate you.
We are Canada\u2019s theatre community. We are Canada\u2019s artists. You are one of the most important people in this country. You have the power to shape the world and to make it a better place. You have the ability to empower others with your vision, your talent and your important voice. You are instrumental to helping ensure that the arts thrive in this country. We need to be strong. The fight for our future will be a hard one. It will be filled with challenges. The gloomy cloud of hopelessness will threaten to snuff out even the brightest of lights among us. But, we MUST NOT GIVE IN.<\/strong> We MUST NOT SURRENDER<\/strong>. Our art, our livelihood, our community, our country\u2019s culture is worth fighting for.
What I think is most important for us right now is that we all need to work together. We need to consolidate our artistic forces and to come together as CANADA\u2019s Arts Community. We in Toronto need to do what we can to help our brothers and sisters in British Columbia<\/a>, and to stand up and say NO<\/strong>, we will not condone 90% of Arts and Culture funding to be slashed anywhere in this country. We in the theatre community need to support our friends in the television and film industry who are struggling against the TV tax <\/a>and the increasing disappearance of Canadian television shows due to a complete lack of support. More importantly, we have to rally together, from the most famous among us, (Eric McCormack, I am looking at you!)<\/strong> to the youngest, smallest Munchkin from The Citadel\u2019s <\/a>The Wizard of Oz<\/em> last Spring and we need to speak in one unified voice. We are tax-payers. We are citizens. Together we make up a huge percentage of the population, and allied with those who watch our plays, sing our songs, buy our books, look at our paintings, watch us dance and help us grow, we are the majority of \u201caverage\u201d Canadians who make this country one of the best places in the world to live. We are not victims. We are not the \u201cFringe\u201d of society. We are society\u2019s very own beating heart. <\/div>\n
Let\u2019s join forces together. All of us.<\/strong> Download \u201cGoliath.\u201d Play it loudly and proudly. If you feel empowered, please share this blog with as many people in the Canadian arts community as possible, or invite them to join the TWISI Facebook group<\/a>. Email me (twisi.theatre.blog@gmail.com<\/a>) with any ideas you have on how we can work together to make the Arts thrive in Canada. Introduce yourself! Especially if you have a website that seeks to promote and foster the Arts, let me know about it so that we can help one another and ally our forces. And please, please<\/strong>, visit these incredible websites and help the fight for Arts in British Columbia. http:\/\/www.stopbcartscuts.ca\/<\/a> and http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcreativitycounts.wordpress.com%2F&h=1a01ed7188496aad119605bef13392f3<\/a>
Let\u2019s all do what we feel in our hearts.
