Spielberg Defends Arts Experience, Praises Shared Emotion
14 Mar
Summary
- Shared emotional experiences unite strangers in dark spaces.
- Theaters, concerts, ballet, and opera foster collective feelings.
- Steven advocates for the enduring power of communal art experiences.
Director Steven recently articulated his perspective on the profound impact of shared artistic experiences. During a keynote conversation on March 13, he described the unique value derived from audiences gathering in darkened spaces, experiencing narratives or performances collectively.
According to Steven, these communal events, whether in movie theaters, concerts, ballet, or opera, cultivate shared emotions. He believes this collective feeling is what draws people together and fosters a unique sense of unity that extends beyond the venue.
The 79-year-old filmmaker expressed a strong desire for these types of experiences to continue indefinitely. His remarks follow a February interview where actor Timothée also discussed various art forms.
