Christopher Michael
Troubadour
This is going to come across as attacking and demeaning. I don't mean it that way. But I have to be blunt.
If you can't do both, I question your seriousness and commitment.
You're going to an extreme. A certain degree of caring about an audience is required to prevent one from filling their works with self indulgent tripe. But you are creatively lost if your mind is full of demographics, statistics, social justice, real world politics, money instead of the conventions of narrative: Emotion, philosophy, development, design, conflict, choreography, iconography, meaning. These are the things that fill my mind. My job isn't that of an agent, or an activist, or a preacher.
If you can't do both, I question your seriousness and commitment.
