  1. Gracie thank you so much for your really informative, engaging,
  2. thorough, but not in a sort of dreary way, really
  3. light and immersive way the story of government control of
  4. the arts told through a sort of a few geographical
  5. contexts. Thought it was really effective.
  6. I thought you did a great job balancing between sort
  7. of giving us a picture of the historical context and
  8. zooming into the realities of totalitarian control and intervention in
  9. particular places.
  10. The ways that it was similar, the ways that it
  11. was different in particular places.
  12. And also something I really appreciated was the detail of
  13. particular artists or organizations who operated within those contexts.
  14. There are so many details that I'm going to take
  15. away from this.
  16. But I want to particularly note the difference between home
  17. theater and church theater and thinking about maybe disrupting some
  18. of the stereotypes that we might have here in the
  19. United States, about the way that government control of the
  20. arts happens and the way that artists work around it.
  21. It's actually quite complicated and context specific.
  22. And I think that that's very interesting.
  23. So you should feel really proud of this project, thank
  24. you so much for teaching me and for investigating this
  25. so carefully and so thoughtfully.
