When long-term collaborators start self-censoring

My creative partner and I have been making experimental theater together for five years, and we've always fed off each other's instincts, but lately every piece feels like a negotiation where we're both censoring our wildest impulses to find something the other can live with. We're making safer work and we both feel it but neither of us knows how to say it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to maintain harmony in collaboration can gradually erode the very creative friction that made the partnership generative.
