FRIENDO'S ADVICE

We all have problems in our lives, spanning from the existential to the very mundane, and Friendo, the featureless sexless life-size puppet we use in many of our productions thinks friendo can help.

So we've compiled some of these deep questions in a column we're calling FRIENDO'S ADVICE.

Dear Friendo,

What is an Artist?

Franz in Prague

Dear Franz,

An artist is someone who starves. Not for attention, but for their craft - who sacrifices, and pays for their knowledge and sensitivity with social capital, financial capital, human comforts. An artist is not always nice, but almost always kind.

Artists are inherently servants. They serve humanity as a whole.

There are those who will scoff at artistry as a sacrifice, say that you don't have to suffer, or sacrifice, or offer anything of yourself, to be an artist. These are people who don't understand the order of the universe.

I hope that helps, human!

Sincerely,

Friendo
