Community-constituted performance norms(in aesthetics and performance theory): The unwritten rules and expectations about how a performance should be done, created and agreed upon by the community of people who regularly perform or watch that type of performance.
Davies and Levinson(as scholars in aesthetics and philosophy of performance): Two philosophers who developed theories about how we understand and judge performances (like music or theater) based on what the community considers normal or acceptable.
Explanatorily idle(in philosophy): Unable to actually explain or account for something; basically doing no real work in solving a problem.
Performer deviation(in performance philosophy): When someone doing a performance (like a musician playing a piece) intentionally breaks from the standard or expected way of doing it.
