timothee chalamet dunking on ballet and opera for being βirrelevantβ as if his literal own mother wasnβt a professional dancer for one of the biggest ballet companies ever... as a ballet dancer myself whoβs been in the industry for over a decade we ARE a dying art form not because weβre βirrelevantβ but because struggling artists exist everywhere. the studios are poor and theatre is at just as much of a risk. writers and painters and actors and dancers and singers and any other kind of artists need to have each others backs in a world where human connection is dying and ai slop is being pushed by big corps. this is your reminder to GO to the opera and GO to the ballet and take a trip to the theatre to watch a movie and give thanks to your fanfic writers and pay an artist for a commission because humans were born to create art and that is always valuable
