I encouraged the audience to adopt different types of body language, ranging from wide eyed enthusiasm to sneering judgement to see how it would affect their feelings about the performance of a mechanical potted plant that dances to Glen Miller's In the Mood. This performance was inspired by / created for an invitation to perform at a noise show, a genre which can sometimes be concerned with stretching an audience's expectations about what music is, possibly encouraging them to suspend judgments. (I'm loathe to define "noise".)
