 Good Morning: Here are this weekend’s highlights: - Fired Dallas Black Dance Theatre Members Aren’t Giving Up The Fight “The dispute threatens to cloud the company’s new season, with the fired dancers demanding to be reinstated and vowing to form picket lines at coming performances. Many of the fired dancers have previously worked with their replacements, adding another layer of resentment and unease.” – The New York Times
- Author Joy Williams Says The ‘Comfy Story’ Writers Enjoy Telling Must Change “I’m always trying to convince myself that fiction will rise up and throw away the crutches that have been supporting it for far too long.” – The Guardian
- Architects Love A Tricky Site “Some projects seek to soar above the mucky stuff. Others embrace the difficulties, making them into an occasion to create something that would never otherwise have come into being.” – The Observer
- Composer Max Richter On The Most Streamed Classical Album Of All Time, And Working With Margaret Atwood “Richter’s 8.5-hour Sleep, based on the neuroscience of sleeping, is 10 years old, and still popular. But the composer’s newest music is for a ballet based on Margaret Atwood’s 2013 book MaddAdam.” – The Observer
- The Ur-Designer Who Knows Apple Has Lost Its Way “Don Norman: ‘Apple fell prey to the disastrous part of design, which is that design is about making something beautiful and elegant. And I say, nonsense.'” – El País
