"They are discovering what they are saying at the same time you are" — theater director Richard Maxwell on actors. It could just as easily be said about any live performers. (I guess I'm thinking about the PowerPoint presentation I will be doing later today.) Part of the thrill, and part of the tightrope effect, is suddenly discovering a new meaning or deep feeling imbedded in something you're saying because the audience reveals it to you. You discover what you're really saying.
