How can arts leaders move beyond incremental change to truly transformative change? By studying the history of the indoor toilet, says David Maggs. "[In] the early 19th century [the promoters of indoor plumbing systems] encountered a surprising problem. People were reluctant to use them. The mere thought of going to the bathroom indoors made people extremely uncomfortable. This, of course, is unimaginable to us now, as the thought of going to the bathroom outdoors makes us extremely uncomfortable...The thought of bringing that smelly mess inside would have seemed like a ridiculous suggestion — which is why the topic is so relevant to our broader curiosity around transformative change. They could not imagine doing it, and we cannot imagine not doing it. That is transformative change. Before it happens, we cannot conceive of it; after it happens, we can’t conceive of its absence. That is change at the level of being."
