Touching An Audience Thoughts On Creating

As Artists Touching an Audience - Thoughts on Creating Beyond the full experiencing and aims of the creative process in all genres, there are the results, the “made” productions, the works, ready to be sent out there from the self to touch other people in some (any) way of giving, the created work presented to affect the anyone in those moments of being-in-audience to an artwork (In the perceiving and receiving of it) to any degree. As writers, musicians, actors, artists, we are gifted through the creative process: through our Felt involvement from onset to culmination of the created works And also when we, too, pause outside artworks, as with all perceptions, to examine and receive, to be touched in some way: sensually, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, creatively… Nearly always, then, we make a judgement about whether we Like what we perceive (in all of life as well) in an artist’s composition — Here Is the work we have met with for a time and let reach us… No matter how briefly, the created work has thus gone from being some “thing” To being an Experience. This accounts, I think, for why artists of all genres feel more than an ownership of “products” about the works done. Like a god-parent might, we artists invest our whole being into shaping works to the full completion of their inspiration. And, then, (as a person does for a fostered one or offspring) we have a bond…with a desire to follow the path and reception of our works In the world beyond us. Our created works poise apart from us… very like living things… Lost works are grieved …Others Also often pass long periods asleep, away from any receiving audience, even from us, the creators… Perhaps going forgotten; Some envisioned works crafted into reality may return to a collection of once unfulfilled dreams, which do startle if they eventually wander out from dark corners and curled pages. They may have stayed in sleep…to serendipitously rise for notice in a rebirth Like garden perennials signaled to stand in Spring surprise…in a new season of a gifting presentation. ————————————————————————— Experimental prose-poetry also an “Address of Poetry” blog, PoetrySoup (I give 2nd Apologies to Aristotle for this :-) (c) sally young eslinger 3/10/22 Thanks be to God
