Where is the motivation in performance art such as ballet and piano?
#1
Don't such artists in ballet and piano get their motivation from their eagerness to please others, aka the audience?

I've realized that all my life, I've been an exhibitionist, showing off to others. Right now, I'm doing things that I wouldn't do if I didn't have an audience to build intrinsic motivation, motivation that comes from within. Doesn't performance art hinder this goal?

People who get involved in Performing Arts usually do so because they enjoy the CHALLENGE of MASTERING A PHYSICAL SKILL and have the PERSONAL DISCIPLINE to do it.. the other, less talented and less motivated people Play air guitar, or jump around their parents basement or sing into a hair brush.. all to the applause of thousands that ONLY THEY CAN HEAR... and they dream about being Famous.
