Famous quotes containing the word performance:

    “True balance requires assigning realistic performance expectations to each of our roles. True balance requires us to acknowledge that our performance in some areas is more important than in others. True balance demands that we determine what accomplishments give us honest satisfaction as well as what failures cause us intolerable grief.”
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    “The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.”
    —Viola Spolin (b. 1911)

    “Still be kind,
    And eke out our performance with your mind.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
