Why I am I interested in performance?

For the past 4 years or so, I've been providing visuals at parties and events. I worked with a variety of DJs and musicians, and realized that there was a huge difference between playing music with visuals vs. actually putting on a performance. I realize that I am far more enthusiastic about performance in this sense (as is the audience!!!), and I want to explore of what makes a compelling performance.

How do I define a performance? A spectacle, an event, organized in such a way as to create an emotional and intellectual change in those who participate.
