Lauren Goodlad, during her keynote, made a great point about the real AI we are contending with: Authoritarian Intelligence. AI as a predictable model of scale. Imaginative literature provides unpredictability. Let us delight in a world that is not scripted by others. #criticalAI #predictability

During the @folger.edu Symposium on Performance Methodologies, @profjoubin.bsky.social and her colleagues played the "is it playable" game. Audiences submitted their ideas about performance and the panel of actors and director were the judge. #dramaturgy #Shakespeare #game

Henry V potato leek soup, anyone? Available at @folger.edu 's Quill & Crumb café on Capitol Hill #soup #café #Shakespeare #capitolhill

While participating in a conference @folger.edu @profjoubin.bsky.social noticed a Shakespeare's bust in the ladies room. A bit creepy? #shakespearebust #ladiesroom #library #capitolhill

A gem @folger.edu from 1602. Unfold the flaps to reveal 4 painted figures, each with two fold-over flaps portraying alternate heads: 1) The judgment of Paris; 2) Dido, Pyramus and Thisbe; 3) David, Judith and Joshua; 4) Woman Clothed with the Sun (Bible), St. Michael the Archangel, Queen Elizabeth.

@profjoubin.bsky.social and her colleagues enjoyed a speaker-curated artifacts display in the Founder's Room @folger.edu during the Symposium on Performance Methodologies. Among the artifacts were a forged signature of Shakespeare and an Elizabethan conceit that is a bit of a theatre in your palm
