You want something better than authenticity

Authentic is the wrong word and sending us down the wrong path.

What we want from others and our entertainers are; giving full attention to the moment. Nothing else matters. The person or entertainer may not feel like doing it before hand but deciding to show up and put on a show is much better than authentically showing their true feelings any day.

You don't want authentic.

People say they want 'authentic'. I think we mean 'immersive'.
Authentic is more boring and troublesome than you think, select authentic is what we're after, which creates immersion.
