This question plays out in the realm of contemporary EVERYTHING.
just contemporary- It's been happening for ever and ever. The "mainstream" .
has always freaked out over every new development in the arts until those .
developments either went away or became mainstream themselves. The powers .
that be freaked out when a few wild monks came up with polyphony in the early .
Middle Ages ("the devil's music"); when Liszt was writing chords that could .
only be played if you had an extra digit (or a prehensile penis); when Mozart .
wrote an opera in German; when Elvis shook his pelvis and had the nerve to .
"sound black"; when they caught their kids listening to the local erotic .
troubadour or ragtime or jazz or rock and roll or hip hop or rap; etc., etc.
This happens in art- how many truly experimental young artists get their work .
shown in major galleries? This happens in dance, this happens in novel .
writing, this happens in film, this happens in television, this happens .
everywhere. It happens in sports. People freak over every rule change, over .
every new shoe, over every new surface, over every new herb some athlete gets .
from his local mojo woman. .
My point is this: If you want a ton of people to see your work; if you want .
to make enough money to support yourself as well as the average banker; if .
you want four-color posters and champagne receptions and your picture in the .
New York Times; then your work MUST generate the kind of money that .
necessarily supports that. And to make X amount of dollars, you need to .
attract X x 10 amount of people. The sheer numbers of people required .
necessitate gathering many of them from the "mainstream." Because the .
definition of "mainstream" is that which is in the main, "the main" being .
where the main- the majority- of people find themselves. It's just MATH.
Should big old regional theatres take risks with all that dough they have? .
Sure! And some do. Berkeley Rep, a multimillion dollar, Tony-Award-winning .
