A performance art piece is unprecedented. It is difficult to censor since it has a good possibility of never being done before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When people start yammering about artistic responsibility, artists become wary. The subtext of such talk is that the arts need to be regulated, which is to say censored.
Music is art to me, and you don't censor art. You don't go into a museum and censor things.
Performance art is about joy, about making something that's so full of kind of a wild joy that you really can't put into words.
All good performance pieces have some philosophical validity. That's the difference between mere theater and performance art.
Art cannot be looked at as an elite, sacred event anymore. It has to be embraced as an accessible, popular form, which is what I believe theater is at its roots.
Performance art is the ultimate in creativity. Since it has so many possibilities at creativity, it's essence tends to become creativity.
Performance art is going to be the future. Plays on Broadway are so restricted. But performance art is like haikus, just one line thing. And it's more casual but more interesting.
Performance art can involve the audience with taste, smell and sounds not available with electronic media and not practical with conventional theater. This is due to the usually small audience.
It's always been performance art, but now it's on a different level.
Performance has to be mainstream art. This is what I'm fighting for.
