I HATE it when people say that performers must perform solely for the "love" of the art. I agree making art involves passion, sweat and absolute devotion.
But there is always an intrinsic interest to please the audience. What would an artist be without her/his audience?

I see a lot of critics and non performers criticizing artists when they perform "pieces" or repertoire that a traditional crowd can connect with, and moniker it as "crowd pleasing", "unoriginal".
My job as a performer is to connect with my audience. I believe my art fails if it has not caught your attention. Of course I don& #39;t mean you need to perform only to pander to a "mainstream" audience, I& #39;d be selling my integrity as an artist then.
What I do mean is, if a performer chooses to do a standard set of technically difficult (or not) pieces and executes it well enough, I don& #39;t think it warrants name calling like "crowd pleaser" or whatever. ( I DID SAY WELL ENOUGH)
Simply because one doesn& #39;t perform obscure pieces of work no one has even heard of doesn& #39;t make them a lesser artist. In classically trained art forms there is a standard repertoire that one follows.
Centuries of compositions and rules that have been constructed for us. The beauty lies in the fact that we can each have our own interpretations and narrate our own stories using these compositions without compromising the rules of our art.
Creating new art is well and good, but if someone chooses to perform a standard piece, criticism as mentioned above is neither constructive or meaningful.
Artists create for the love of their art but also for an audience.

Recognition is important for us. People are important for us. Our art is not only for ourselves but also for the world. We create in our practice rooms because we love the space given to our imagination, we must not forget that millions of artists perform as it is their job
That means they need money to make their art. So stop calling people showy because you think they& #39;re performing the "basic" items. It& #39;s years of practice and dedication and of course talent.
Criticise by all means, just make sure it& #39;s meaningful crticism, like their execution, their style, technique...... not because you want to show off your knowledge that you learnt from the internet.
Also, this thread was addressing the Classical performing arts, like dance and music.
Not art, films, etc.
K thnx. Got triggered by some post online. I know I might sound discrete or whatever. But I wanted to have an outlet for my rage somewhere.
