Category:Performing arts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The performing arts classically include theatre/drama, music, opera, and dance. Less classically, stand-up comedy, oratory, debate, etc., are also performing arts; and the term also includes all of the various forms, subforms, elements, and variations of the foregoing, such as oral intepretation, marching band, and so on.

An artist who practices one or more performing arts is called a "performer". Common occupational titles include actor, comedian, singer, dancer, musician, orator, and so on. Oration may be considered a lost art, at least for the present, with such great speakers as Winston Churchill ("We shall fight them on the beaches; we shall fight them on the landing ground ... we shall never surrender!") effectively relegated to increasingly distant history, the art of oratory having been replaced by the sting of the soundbite.
