Particular Aspects of Focus

Each week you may wish to choose a new aspect to focus on during an event you attend. You can mention it in your posting, or craft your entire posting around the aspect. It's up to you!

THE AUDIENCE
-audience's general emotional response to the performers
-watch one audience member in particular during the performance
-audience members' attire
-audience applause patterns
-audience demographics
-post-event reactions to event
-who leaves/stays?

THE PERFORMERS
-performers' reaction to anything unexpected
-observe closely a secondary or tertiary performer
-interaction between performers on stage
-performers' awareness of, or exchange with, audience
-effect of stage size or venue on the performers

THE EVENT ITSELF
-organization of the event, how it is set up; logical order?
-modes of presentation
-performance vs. presentation
-marketing of event vs. real impression of event
-use of "language" surrounding, and during, event
-blurred "4th-wall lines"? (between 'performer' and 'audience member')


YOU

-feelings of comfort or discomfort
-feelings of being challenged or inspired to "act"
-influence on you if familiar with a performer
