Performance
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
音乐在表演中是一种雕塑。表演中的空气被雕刻成某种东西。

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.
现场表演的肾上腺素和电影或剧院里的任何东西都不一样。我明白为什么它如此上瘾了。
The actor depends wholly on himself. He gives his performance in what, to him, seems the most effective manner.
演员完全依靠自己。他的表演在他看来是最有效的。

What is a good performance? It lies in the hands and head of a performer... the shortest way between two people is not a straight line.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

The skills that we have are the actual magic skills - not the performing skills. We have to separate those. But the actual skills that make the tricks work, we don't get to use again.

Let your performance do the thinking.
让你的表现来做思考。
