问题     Live theatre lives. In England in every town, someone is rehearsing, someone devising, someone performing. Winchester is a good example. Ancient capital of England, population approximately 60,000 when you take in the suburbs. Live theatre comes to Winchester and made in Winchester, week in week out.
    It has a 400-seat theatre in the city centre and an arts centre in the outskirts seating 150. These offer a programme of visiting companies on a tour of one-night or three-to-four night stands, moving from one gathering place to another around the country, using moveable sets in flexible space. New productions of classic works, ancient and modern but always live: each performance different because it’s different audience in a different town. The tour usually lasts the company two or three months before it’s time to settle down to devise and rehearse the next one.
    For the performer, touring is a chance to work with the same people in the security of a company unit. But it’s also a chance to try something different night: to find out what works by actually doing it. And it doesn’t always work. So what if it flops? You are on the road and perform it again in another place tomorrow. The audience will have forgotten by the time you come around again next year.
    Each company’s different, each has its own style, and audiences get to know them. But Winchester also has its own fringe (边缘) theatre 200 yards or so from the cathedral. This is where live theatre is conceived. The North Pole, it seats 50 to 60 people. Here it’s new work, amateur and semi-professional work, sometimes slick (熟练的), sometimes rough and ready. At least a dozen world premieres (首次公演) a year: many of them short-lived, quickly forgotten, some of them best forgotten, but all of them performed in excitement and expectation, neither audience nor performer quite knowing what’s going to happen. But one or two shows stick in the mind, some return reworked a year or so later the better for being polished on the live stage, some will work their way out of Winchester onto the touring circuit. Someone somewhere is always thinking of starting a company.  
What benefits do touring bring to the performer?
选项 A、He gets a chance to get acquainted win performers from other companies.
B、His performance is always remembered by the audience.
C、He can try different new performances in different places creatively.
D、He has a chance to establish long-lasting performer-audience relationship.
答案C
解析
