Found this comic rendering of Ken Robinson’s ode to dance on the Internets. The words are from his 2006 TED talk How schools kill creativity – the most viewed TED talk ever.
It tells the now familiar and commonplace story of the invention of the school system and its subject discipline hierarchy to support the needs of industrialization. Certain and narrow kinds of talents and academic have been prized at the expense of others and to our collective detriment. Forward thinking and inspirational? Or misguided and simplistic? Either way, I enjoyed the comic.
