During today's rehearsal, I brought up the idea of having the composer and poet run out of the room in the middle of the performance. Gavin immediately didn't like it and said so.
This is when you know a young collaboration is working--when artists begin to trust each other enough to quickly disagree.
We are still getting to know each other and how we work--what we have in common and how we come from different universes.
We may all respect each others skills and talents, but we can't be afraid to push back a little when somebody's idea doesn't feel right.
Too much reverence kills the collaboration. Trust between collaborators allows for the group to take greater chances and dig deeper until they hit fertile ground.
