A visitor has a better percentage of falling from a child, or trip walking up the stairs, or catch their foot on a chair, than Mark, or a screaming child causing them to fall. And one would not have to be “New” to do so. |
You guess wrong. But, that is beside the point.
Not every performer, of any kind, appreciates distractions during a performance. Depending on the difficulty or level of concentration required distractions can cause mistakes or failures regardless of whether it is intentional or not. There is nothing wrong with not liking to be surprised or startled or shocked. It's part of our instinct for self preservation. Not liking the act has nothing to do with having empathy for the actor. One can still love thy neighbor even though his unconscious whistling causes your ears to bleed.
