At the last Thinking Out Loud (for Melanie Demars) we ended up talking about how and how much to articulate to an audience. The room was mostly people directly involved in art making with a few interested audience members.
And it was a good discussion, but something one the of "interested audience members" said has stuck with me - a woman who none of us knew, though suspected was a regular dance viewer, who hadn't said anything up to this point.
[an attempt at a close paraphrase]
"When I see shows, it feels like you all did a lot of talking to make the show, but then stop when I get there."
That seems rude. And a very clear articulation of of something that seems true and problematic.
As I said, I want to think and write more on this - comments and thoughts are welcome.
It will I think, come up in the panel I'm part of at the CDA
this weekend in Ottawa. Michael, Bonnie and I and I think both of the Kate's are going to be there. I'm looking forward to it, cracked rib (soccer) and all.
