#zoomcatchers #anthropology #lilyforrester #podcast Welcome Back! Join Lily and guest ethnomusicologist, Becca, at the intersection of academics and artists where they muse on the rising queer band, boygenius, and the context that brought them into the light. This episode detangles the social structures that exist both within the band and between artist and fan and why those may exist. Lily defines such concepts as hegemony, agency, cultural capital, and performativity as they relate to all things boygenius.

#fsww #zoomcatchers #thebillie #shakespeare FSWW and the Billie Holiday Theatre are pleased to present Shakespeare Over My Shoulder written by Ted Lange. For 400 years, scholars have debated this mystery and searched for the truth…who really wrote Shakespearean plays? Shakespeare Over My Shoulder ponders this mystery with four likely contenders at centerstage. They reconnoiter at the Mermaid Tavern in 1593, as the bubonic plague rages through London. It is a pandemic and all the theatres have been closed. As playwrights, they muse their futures with practicality and comedy and lend an ear to the Shakespearean conundrum. The reading is powered by Zoomcatchers. There will be a moderated critique session immediately following this reading where the audience can give direct feedback to the playwright.
