Long Table: Audience

AUDIENCE

Guest Host: Mary Ellen Beaudreau
Core Participants: Torya Beard, Maria Bauman-Morales, Kris Grey, Patricia Hoffbauer, Chanon Judson

How do dance and performance artists view their relationship with audiences? Moving beyond the “fourth wall,” can there be collaboration and reliance between artists and audiences? What do you expect from—or hope for—your audiences? What is the role of consent in audience participation? What creative ideas and approaches help attract and engage new audiences? Share what has—or has not—worked for you.

Curated and hosted by Gibney Senior Curatorial Director, Eva Yaa Asantewaa, this series of conversations highlights important issues in the dance community.

Long Table conversations adopt performance artist Lois Weaver’s non-hierarchical Long Table format, encouraging informal conversation around topics of concern to the community. Learn more here about Long Tables and how they work.
