Imaginauts Manifesto

We are a group of people underneath the name of the Imaginauts, attempting to produce a show that we hope will influence our viewers in a positive way. But what does that mean? If someone looked at our About Us page, what would it say?

If we want to be successful in our mission, we should probably organize our goals and beliefs around some central themes, so that we're sure our show becomes what we want it to be.

Example:

Note that the example includes definitions as well as intentions. It makes sense that we define exactly what we mean to be extra clear.

Some ideas I think would be good to include:

1. Everyone can be an artist.

We should battle the preconceived notions of what an artist is and who is or isn't allowed to be one. Our show can help open minds that would otherwise be closed. See Joseph Beuys and social sculpture.

2. Appreciation and respect.

For the environment, other individuals, diversity, the present, past, future etc etc etc

3. Acceptance of imperfection.

There is no one that is all good. People make mistakes and invariably fall short of ideals, but it's okay. There is always room for better, but that doesn't necessarily make the status quo bad.

I'm sure there's a lot of other things we can add, thoughts?
