Were you exposed to a type or style of [art] that
you had not [heard/seen] before Were you
exposed to the work of [an artist] whose work

least one unfamiliar [artistic work], even if you
were previously familiar with the artist(s) who

To what extent did anything about the performance

(Intellectual stimulation, 2012)
During the performance, how much did you

(Intellectual stimulation, 2013)
How much did the performance remind you
how much you love [the featured work on the
programme] (Aesthetic validation, an element of
aesthetic enrichment, 2012)
As a result of this experience, are you better able to
explain to other people what you like or don’t like
in [music/ dance/ theatre/ film] (Critical capacity,

How much did the performance stir your imagination
(Intellectual stimulation, 2012) To what
extent do you think your attendance at this performance
will cause you to be more creative in your

I think some elements in this
production crossed the boundaries
of good taste (Breaching
or Norms and Values)
The performance stimulated
me to take a closer look to the
play during the next couple of
days (e.g., read the play, read
newspaper articles) (Animation
