Eco by Anna Deavere Smith states that: “We tend to define good not only what we like, but also what we would like to have for ourselves... which stimulates the our desire" (8). Through the bodily performances of Smith and Brody, the audience is able to see that both Smith and Brady performed in the way they wanted for themselves, but also for their viewers. Both Smith and Brady's audiences were moved by their performances. In Never Givin' Up, Smith was able to evoke many emotions in her viewers who experienced prejudice. Given people's familiarity with King's letter, audiences expected a lot from Smith and she was able to deliver a powerful performance. Brody was also able to deliver a powerful performance playing a Polish-Jewish pianist struggling to survive World War II. Not vocally powerful, Brody's role as Spillman was also able to move his audience by showing the harsh reality that Jews encountered during World War II. Brody's extraordinary, dramatically moving performance earned him an Oscar for Best Actor. Smith and Brody's dedication and professionalism as performers and actors engage audiences in their individuality
