SUMMARY:Critical Conversations: Audience < Art
DESCRIPTION:What comes first: the ‘art’ or the ‘audience’? \nThis 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 ? \nIn 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’? \nJoin Amy Hetherington\, Richard Fejo\, Albert Belz and Brown’s Mart to set fire to this triggering topic! \nBack again for 2026\, at a time when the world seems to be all about absolutes and division\, some of Darwin’s leading arts organisations have come together to create CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS. \nPRODUCTION NOTES \nDuration: 1 hour\nRecommended for ages: 16+\nContent warnings: Course language may be used\, adult themes may be discussed and strong opinions\nAccess: \n\nWheelchair Accessible\nAccessible by public transport\nVarious forms of contact accepted (written\, verbal etc) for complaints and bookings.\nA quiet space is available\nAssistance dogs welcome\nSeating options are available\nCar park suitable for wheelchair transportation available within 2 minutes of the venue entrance.\nGender Neutral toilets available\n\n\nBOOK NOW
