ah, yes Gal*in_dog! It is more about what the expectations are that the audience comes into the performance with than anything else. They read DARING, CONTROVERSIAL PERFORMANCE and they come for hip TV... And they actually get pissed when they actually get what we told them they'll get! I have been working with this for over forty years! On the flier for my monthly performance series it states:

"REALITY PLAYINGS: experiments in experience/participation performance... Frank Moore, world-known shaman performance artist, will conduct improvised passions of musicians, actors, dancers, and audience members in a laboratory setting to create altered realities of fusion beyond taboos. Bring your passions and musical instruments and your senses of adventure and humor. Other than that, ADMISSION IS FREE! "
but each time there is someone who gets pissed /shocked that it's actually experiments in experience /participation performance, etc. It's a part of our job as artists to explode these limiting expectations.

Got it.
Now the question is if we really want to give the audience exactly what they are expecting...

that is the freeway to shallow art! Expectations limit art. Before I perform, I have expectations. They are 96% wrong! once the performance "begins" I have to let go of my expectations or I would block the art. My job is to conduct the art, to follow the art.
