“I am particular about the seating of the audience - also about how much money they pay - but most of all where they are seated. If I am going to sing something intimate, who am I going to sing it to?” IfsPayAudienceParticularIntimate Author:Nina Simone
“Only in the theatre was it possible to see the performers and to be warmed by their personal charm, to respond to their efforts and to feel their response to the applause and appreciative laughter of the audience. It had an intimate quality; audience and actors conspired to make a little oasis of happiness and mirth within the walls of the theatre. Try as we will, we cannot be intimate with a shadow on a screen, nor a voice from a box.” FeelsTryingLittlesActorsVoiceEffortQualityAudienceWallLaughterShadowResponseBoxesTheatreScreensIntimateCharmPerformersApplauseMirthAppreciativeOasis Author:Robertson Davies
“When the theater is gothic it matches the sensibility of the show. It's also very intimate. The audience is very close to the performers. The show is scary and the scary stuff always works best with an intimacy with the audience. And the show is erotic, and I think erotic always works best when it's close to the audience, as well.” ThinkingWellsShowsStuffAudienceTheaterScaryIntimacyIntimatePerformersSensibilityEroticGothicScary Stuff Author:Frank Wildhorn
“When I can do an acoustic set, I can sit down and sing. And then when I have a huge arena full of people, there's nothing like that. It's the coolest feeling in the world, but I also like to play small intimate shows because I feel you can connect a little more. And that's something I had to learn - how to connect to a big audience versus the small one.” PeopleWorldFeelsLittlesI CanPlayShowsFeelingsBigsCan DoAudienceHugeDown AndIntimateVersusArenaAcoustics Author:Avril Lavigne
“TV acting is so extremely intimate, because of the peculiar involvement of the viewer with the completion or "closing" of the TV image, that the actor must achieve a great degree of spontaneous casualness that would be irrelevant in movie and lost on the stage. For the audience participates in the inner life of the TV actor as fully as in the outer life of the movie star. Technically, TV tends to be a close-up medium. The close-up that in the movie is used for shock is, on TV, a quite casual thing.” Would BeUsedActorsLostStarsActingAudienceAchieveStageTelevisionTvsDegreesMediumsIntimateShockPeculiarSpontaneousViewersIrrelevantMovie StarClosingInvolvementCasualInner LifeCompletion Book:Understanding media: the extensions of man Source: Understanding media: the extensions of man
“In the theater the audience is generally riveted to a single angle of observation. The movie director, though, can rapidly shift from objective to subjective--and to any number of subjective points of view--and in so doing seem to pull the audience directly inside the frame of his picture, giving the spectator the sense of experiencing an action from the viewpoint of a participant. Identification of the viewer with the film character, then, can be much more intimate than the analogous situation in the theater.” GivingCharacterSeemsActionFilmViewsNumbersSituationAudienceDirectorsTheaterPoint Of ViewObjectivesObservationCinemaIntimateAngleViewersSubjectiveSpectatorsParticipantsViewpointsIdentificationMovie Director Author:Ed Murray
“When you play a smaller, more intimate venue, you can have real conversations with your audience, take risks, and stay current. You can also change the set list, on how the day feels or how the audience reacts. When you do arena shows, every arena looks and feels the same. You can't see who is in the room.” FeelsLooksRealPlayShowsRoomsAudienceRiskConversationCurrentsListsIntimateArenaVenuesReal Conversation Author:Jason Mraz
“I do think there's a relationship between a book and a reader that's more intimate, in many ways, than the relationship between an audience member and a play - just by the nature of it being an object that you can have in bed with you and that you can keep and page through.” ThinkingWayBookPlayAudienceObjectsReaderBedMembersPagesIntimate Author:Sarah Ruhl
“If art doesn't require an audience, can an intimate conversation be a work of art? Can a thought be a work of art? Maybe. I don't know.
