Video of the Moment

This space was originally used to share various Contact Improv videos. I decided to widen the range of shared videos beyond CI, which will continue to be included, I'm sure.

This graphic has floated by on my screens on a couple of social media sites. Every time I retweet or repost or share. It came up again tonight, and I thought I'd post it here for a while. It's true and it's important.
