Question 1 of 15
1. Question
Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.
Athletes and actors- let actors stand for the set of performing artists- share much. They share the need to make gesture as fluid and economical as possible, to make out a welter of choices the single, precisely right one. They share need for thousands of hours of practice in order to train the body to become perfect, instinctive instrument to express. Both athlete and actor, out of that abundance of emotion, choice, strategy, knowledge of the terrain, mood of extractors, condition of others in the essemble, secrete awareness of injury or weakness, and as nearly an absolute concentration as possible so that all externalities are integrated, all distraction absorbed to the self, must be able to change the self so successfully that it changes us.
When either athlete or actor can bring all these skills to bear and focus them, then he or she will achieve that state of complete intensity and complete relaxation, complete coherence or integrity between what the performer has to do. Then, the performer is free; for then, all that has been learned, by thousands of practice and discipline and by repetition of pattern, becomes natural. Then intellect is upgraded to the level of an instinct. The body follows commands that precede thinking.
When athletes and artists achieve self-knowledge that they transform the self so that we are re-created, it is finally an exercise in power. The individual’s power to dominate, on stage or field un-vests the whole arena around the locus of performance with his or her power. We draw from the performance’s energy, just as we scrutinize the performer’s vulnerabilities and we criticize as if we were equals (we are not) what is displayed. This is why all performers dislike or resent the audience as much as they need and enjoy it. Power flows in a mysterious circuit from performer to spectator (I assume a “live” performance) and back and while cheers or applause are the hoped-for outcome of performing, silence or gasps are the most desired, for then the moment has occurred-then domination is complete, and as the performer triumphs, a unity rare and inspiring results.
Which best describes what the author is doing in the parenthetical comment “let actors stand for these of performing artists” (line 1)?
