Question

Element in this context means to add another part or dimension or characteristic - here it would give the audience something else to see or pay attention to.

What does element mean here?

Answer

I guess we are talking about a concert or play and these would have a visual element and a sound or auditory element. Element is noun not a verb, however, so this is a bit misleading to say "element means to add another part". It does mean "to add" which is a verb, it means "the part" which is a noun.

I hope that helps.
