" The connection between hospitality and performance is both obvious and perhaps not obvious to everyone who makes performances. In the dynamic between performer and spectator there is always the potential for at least a certain degree of hospitality on both sides. How open-minded am I going to be when I begin to watch a performance? How open to the spectator is any performance I might make? Sometimes being too open, taking the spectator too much by the hand, might come off as condescending, and keeping this in mind it is possible to convey a greater hospitality by making work that is in fact more challenging.
