22 October
What comes first: the ‘art’ or the ‘audience’? This evening Critical Conversations gives the platform to commercial comedians who consider risk, audience and art and the ability to pay their bills when they create their shows. Like a punchier version of Sliding Doors, 3 comedians will share material they create with their audiences in mind followed by the material they really want to do, before a candid, and (likely) hilarious dive into the topic: Audience < Art ? In an age where everything is ‘artist-led’ and financial risk is subsidised by the government, have we forgotten our audiences? If audiences are considered first, does the work actually become ‘less risky’? Join Amy Hetherington, Richard Fejo, Albert Belz and Brown’s Mart to set fire to this triggering topic!
29 October
