This is a quote from a recent dance review in the NYTimes that I thought was relevant. Maybe also kind of obvious, but good to keep in mind.

"Live performance doesn't have to be lively or full of action or emotionally layered. It doesn't have to be anything in particular. But it must, in its own fashion, contain enough of an authentic world — any world — to keep those watching it from receding into their own worlds, where an endless supply of mundane distractions awaits."

I think that things like the Easybake Oven, controlling the music, etc. that we talked about are good ways to make the performance seem real. We have to be careful not to just remind people of 'that party last year where that thing happened' and keep them engaged in what is happening onstage.

I'm sure we'll get to all this eventually.
