When creative partners disagree about audience expectations and artistic vision

My partner and I are both performers and we've been developing this show together for months but we keep having these tense conversations about who the audience really is and what we owe them. I think we should give them what they expect from our previous work, but she wants to challenge them more, and every rehearsal feels like we're arguing about artistic integrity versus accessibility without actually saying those words.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two artists must navigate the tension between serving their audience's established expectations and pushing into new creative territory, while their different philosophies about the artist-audience relationship threaten their collaboration.
