aye, tf · Reclaiming AmateurismYesterday a blog by Peter Saint-Andre took me to his much older (2015) post on self-patronage that touches on the subject of an ‘artist as an entrepreneur’. This struck a chord with me.
Yesterday, I went to see Puputyttö by Saara Turunen at Maunula-talo. It's directed by Jonna Wikström and performed by adult education students of Helsinki City Adult Education Center, Helsingin työväenopisto. The students are amateurs and do thearte as their hobby. I love how people want to gather together after a long work day and make art. Theatre is a difficult form of art because it's so intensive group work. It requires a lot of patience and really good social skills. I must say, I admire these people are willing to spend their valuable free time like this!

You can still see the show, check out the details: https://ilmonet.fi/course/H251960. It's free of charge!
