Awkward theatre

ā€‹

Awkwardness poses a problem for the arts. Its life is dependant on social norms to thrive. Awkwardness is the feeling you get when you break a so called social norm. The problem arises when you realise that social norms don´t really align with the arts.Sociology, which is the science that explores social norms, is… a science. Sciences are based on verified and carefully observed facts, whereas art defies explanation. It´s essence is subjective, and therefore irrational. Meaning there are no factual facts in arts. Hence, there can be no factual social norms in art.

 

But like… what if there could be?
