Performing Arts

Forms whose work is realized live before an audience through the body and voice: dance and its classical ballet tradition, theatre, and performance art considered as a live event rather than as a sculptural object. Belongs here: a form defined by live, embodied performance. Does not belong here: a musical form realized primarily through composition and instrumentation, which belongs under Musical Forms, even when also performed live.
