The performance analogy would be that unless we can truly enjoy the
act of performance for ourselves we can't share that enjoyment with an
audience. >>
two things that come immediately to mind; if you don't love performing,
why on earth would you do it? and, how about loving the material so much,
you want to share IT with the audience rather than one's love for oneself?
i think that if a performer is truly caught up in the material and getting
the point of it across, there'll be little room left over to get caught up in
psycho-drama. bernstein, for all his ego, felt that losing oneself in the
material was key to doing something extraordinary.
