Gazing at a Bird in Flight....

I think we all had our first 'performance' on the day when we were born. In a one way or another, I am sure it was a magnificent one. If we reach out to that moment, we will realize that the most significant characteristic of the moment is that was a spontaneous, uncalculated, innocent first reaction when meeting this world.

During our life-cycle, we continue to present ourselves as individuals with a set of activities that has some influence on the observers. What follows us in that way is what belongs to us by birth, and what we got during the time: sex, size, looks, posture, facial expressions, bodily gestures, age, experiences, speech patterns, wisdom, etc.

When the performer is the one who initiates the interaction, it depends on his appearance and manner. Each interactant expresses his thoughts on his unique interaction's role. What marks that our performance has gotten attention and interest in exceptions is the coherence of appearance, manner, and setting. 

Therefore, we all wear different masks while representing ourselves to our observers. That is evident even if we are engaged in the most ordinary life situations. No matter if on the other side of the performer is just one individual, a group of people or a huge audience, for him is very important how will they glean and receive his all presented moments in front of them. 

However, there is a difference when we talk about performing in front of a big audience. The big audience demands an exceptional effort. The notorious fact is that public admiration towards specific performers made a reflection in their socio-economic status. For those performers, the crucial is their public admiration. Worldwide. That elucidates the impact of their work. Therefore, a single or a superficial act is not enough to make a deep impression.

If they want to succeed, their audience needs to keep getting congruent perceptions. So, they live for their admiration. They sacrifice their ordinary lives for that. They need admirable echoes. Simple, they depend on their audience.

The best result is if the performers' artwork provides amenities in observers' lives. Here I have to say that I wrote this text with respect to anyone who makes a continuous great effort to be recognized, successful and famous. On any field of work.

For me, the feeling of amenity I mentioned, is easy to be caught, for example, while I observe a music star I like - the sound, the appearance, the movement, the manner, the setting, and surrounding. The most convenient analogy of the feelings is while I am gazing at a bird in flight, soaring through the air.
