One thing I can remember from every show I’ve ever been to is how close I got to the artist.
I bet you can remember too.
Changing proximity is so powerful…the satellite stage, crowd surfing, running through the aisles, getting down into the crowd, going way stage left or stage right.
If I have a ticket for row 52, I expect to have 52 rows of distance between me and the artist.
I could have spent a little more money and got a ticket for row 51, or a little less money for row 53…but I decided I want 52 rows of distance.
So when the artist shrinks that distance, I remember! How could I not?!
An artist changing proximity flips the entire economic and experiential equation upside down.
We long to be near. We long to see.
