The participants of a spectacle have to be conscious of its audience at all times because they are their own viewers. Jugglers at Folklife would purposefully drop a ball in order to create laughter, to evoke audience reaction, to force a bond between observer and performer. Standing in the back of the crowd, you see the audience before you focus on the juggler. That observer then monitors the entire event as a spectacle and not just as the "other," outside of the viewer.
