A conversation with Jess last week brought up difficulties of collaborations. We discussed how most times it is difficult to convince others to be committed passionately to your projects or ideas. When collaborations in productions generally dictate that we have specific allocated roles of execution, the team you work with are often uninterested or are not able to be involved in the conceptualisation of your project. Even if they are teamed up with you from the start, what you initially had in mind or the motivations behind your concept soon have to become irrelevant. Sometimes, even if you try to communicate them to your partners, their reception and interpretation of your concept will never be what you intended.
