In Response to Swansea University (Repost)
I had to re-post this blog.. Our lovely documentary creators wrote a fabulous response to Swansea University in the UK who shut down their pole program in September. Now, they are not only filmmakers, but pole activists! I think it is very important to note that this blog was written by a MALE. And not just any male, but one that has been following Jagged around since 2010, interviewed many different polers outside of Jagged, and seen many pole shows in between.
Anyone who does pole should be prepared to be an advocate and activist by default. There are so many great things about getting involved with this new art form, but because it is in it's infancy, we have to be prepared to patiently educate others and stand up for what we do at times on a daily basis.
