There's something distinct and interesting about a live performance. There's this weird immediacy that's, for me, really invigorating, and it just feels really rewarding.
For some artists the live performance is the chicken before the egg of writing or recording of repertoire. For other artists the writing or recording of repertoire is the chicken before the egg of live performance.
Live performance really terrifies me. I haven't done it, really, in years. I think that's why I retired from my brief career in stand-up.
Every time I see a live performance of something, I'm like, 'I want to be doing that!'
Yes, I believe stories are very important to all performances. The life story of the performer shapes their work, and the life stories of the audience alter how they receive the work, what they read into the performer.
A live performance is the same no matter what genre it is. Wrestling, rock 'n roll, hosting, acting - it's the same thing.
The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.
You can do 'Hamlet' while performing cartwheels... as long as the audience sees your eyes - you can make the performance real.
I do an improv show on Sunday where we have a class, and then afterwards we go and do a live performance in front of an audience.
