Ideas from audience viewing

Hi all

Just a quick blog about my perceptions and discoveries from watching the shows aboard the ship...

Focusing on knowledge and understanding of the arts, it has been interesting to see that the audience were most impressed by the least technical number in the show. A number that uses simple/basic puppetry made a lady sitting in front of me go out aloud 'wow thats fantastic!' she was genuinely enticed and entertained by something that seemed so simple to me. as a dancer myself it was interesting to see a propelled reaction from what I would see as the easiest number in the show. It is all about perception. To a non dancer, entertainment value is key to a successful show, and to be quite honest, it is all about the audience. If we as entertainers do not do our job to fulfil the audience needs, then we have failed no matter how technically trained we may be. Our number one priority is to entertain the guests whether that be top dance critics or a clueless dance audience- it is all relevant and important to fulfilling your job within the arts.

Thoughts?
