Agreed Outstanding performances do convert even people without taste. But don't such performances need to be watched live. How many of these 100,000+ people will leave their homes, use a transport and pay to watch a recital?
You tube is propaganda organ. Not a performance venue.It is also educational in the sense it has some sensible theory and experiments that can be watched. It can in fact as a medium for "amateurish dancers" to pick a few moves.
Also in my opinion "mediocre" recitals are a missionary in their own way. First of all most kids learn to be on stage- to perform. Not many realize that not all students are meant to be performers.A few can turn into serious rasikas later on. So that way, the students themselves and their parents are at least given an initiation into the art form.That way even the you tube is our propaganda pal. But organizers and teachers should curtail these shows and educate the audience enough realize that this is amateurish and not what really a good show is like. Otherwise it definitely can put away a newly introduced rasika. Hence all the more need to have good artistes performing.
