Posted: 1/1/06 at 4:08amDepending on the show. I would love to be a performer though. Just the thrill of it all.

Posted: 1/1/06 at 5:06amI went to a dance recital a week ago and I thought that it would be nice to see someone else do the work. As I was sitting there watching them dance, I just wanted to be up there danceing more and more. So it would probably be performer. Although, like already said, depends on the show.

Posted: 1/1/06 at 6:41amAs I love all aspects of theatre I say both are important. I come to a better understanding of theatre through participation in all aspects of it, which includes being the audience.

I prefer to perform.
I enjoy watching, but I'd rather be up there giving my all...

Performer. But I adore watching plays.
Think of it this way: Performing is my job (that I love), and watching is my hobbie.
And.....SCENE!

Posted: 1/1/06 at 1:26pmIt all really depends on the show. Most of the time, it's performer, but sometimes, it's audience.

PERFORMER.
I get kind of antsy as an audience member....it's really hard for me to just sit and watch.

PERFORMER

I prefer to be a performer.
Although I like to be an audience member too. You don't know what's going to happen and you can learn a lot from other performers.

I like to be a participant and a voyeur.
