Question Everything: What matters?

What matters to you most in a performance?

That's really a two-part question.  I should ask, "what matters to you most at a performance when you perform?", and then "what matters to you most at a performance when you're watching one?"  I suppose that brings up a third question, "are they the same thing?"

In a way, the third question is more interesting.  If they are the same thing, are you neglecting other things?  If they're different, why?

So many questions, I know.  I'm not going to go into all the possible combinations or how they might tell you something about yourself.  I just want you think about it, as the QE series of posts was created for!
