New Resolutions?
For a lot of us in America and Western Europe it is the beginning of a new year. Time to reflect on what we did not do that we should have, and what we did do but should not have done. Time to fix things by making resolutions.
I’ve noticed that most resolutions are focused on the individual making the resolution, like:
- I’ll try to go to the gym and get in shape.
- I’ll eat healthier.
- I’ll be more productive.
Things like this.
I’d like to recommend we look at resolutions in a different way.
Instead of thinking how we can make our own lives better, maybe we can make plan to make life better for someone else.
Our resolutions should focus on helping others.
Resolve to Help Others
The Rhymes Over Beats resolutions for the new year are of this type. We want make other peoples lives better by helping them achieve their artistic goals.
This is the reason for Rhymes Over Beats Hip Hop Theater Collective. We believe the world would be a better place if there were more hip hop theater in it. Our goal is to help make this happen.
Our specific resolutions for the new year are:
- Finish a book on helping playwrights write plays that are more producible.
- Produce a new hip hop musical by Masta Ace.
- Produce a revival of the play The Exonerated, casting actors who are also hip hop artists.
- Produce a hip hop musical about Irish famine in the 1850s.
What Are Your Resolutions?
In addition to the resolutions you have already made, I’d propose one more: please check during the year that we are keeping our resolutions. Check in and let us hear from you during the year – we love to hear your thoughts.
And may the best day of last year be the worst day of the new year!
