talk show: 01.2007

the big brother-style apology

Goody, who had criticized Shetty's accent and cooking, apologized by saying: "I know that what has happened has not been nice for you . and a lot of stuff got said the other day from you and from myself. I didn't say it in a racial way . I do not judge people by the colour of their skin," she said."I know that, I don't think you're racist," Shetty said, and the two hugged.

The irony is that CBC refers to it as an apology: http://www.cbc.ca/arts/tv/story/2007/01/19/big-brother.html
(thanks to steve for this...)

for the record

blogs have made space for recording and making public the personal and otherwise unrecorded... so, below, a few remnants from the show, stuff not easily quantified but gives satisfaction of a special kind:

- the woman who came to our contact class for the first time AFTER having seen the piece
- a colleague said that we just might have cured his aversion to contemporary dance
- a colleague and video artist who liked the video
- someone telling me that she laughed her ass off
- Julie taking notes to share with us after the shows
- the volunteers and friends who came out to support us
- a reimbursement cheque from the theatre - (worth more than the amount on the cheque!)

gulp pins in the blogosphere

My colleague Robyn pointed me in this direction... ah but the world is a small place!

But it is a reminder - gulp pins and tshirts are for sale!!! give us a buzz if you want some!!
