The Dancer Project

To Timothée Chalamet,

Oh Timmy…. Timmy, Timmy, Timmy…. A Japanese proverb that’s been around for more than 400 years says:
“We’re fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.”

Dance and opera have both survived for centuries, so clearly someone cares.

So whether one chooses to be foolish in their opinions (cough cough… meow) or foolish enough to try something new in the arts… something crafted, nuanced, structured, vulnerable, and requiring a lifetime of dedication to make it a profession, the choice seems pretty obvious.

And since you know the ballet world through your own family, I’d hope you have a publicist brave enough to send you to a dance class someday.

Meet dancers of all ages.
Tell them those thoughts to their faces.

Who knows, you might even learn what it feels like to be a true artist.

One who respects other people’s craft.
