Scenario

When creative groups become too harmonious and lose their edge

Our theater company has been devising work together for four years and we used to fight passionately about creative choices but lately we've all gotten polite and accommodating and the work feels safe in a way that's making us all miserable. We keep saying everything is fine but I think we're all bored and no one wants to be the one to disrupt the peace.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A collaborative relationship sacrifices creative tension for emotional comfort, leaving everyone unsatisfied but afraid to reintroduce conflict.
