Art and the Audience

Each member of the audience, every viewer and listener and reader receives a performance in their own way.

You might be at a play or a concert or a poetry slam. Perhaps you’re reading a book or binge-watching a TV series. We all bring our own set of filters when we pay attention and participate. Life-knowledge and cultural background and exposure to a range of artistic input create a unique layer of filters, neither good nor bad. They help define who we are, as an individual or a member of the collective – the audience.

This is the jumping off point. I’ve started this dialogue with my subjective thoughts and invite you to join in by commenting and sharing your unique-to-you experiences.
