Performing arts have been an integral element of human culture since our very earliest days. Cultures throughout our history have put high value on the various performing arts – from the ancient Egyptians to the Greek and Roman empires to modern day theater and dance. As a provider of wholesale performing arts seating in Texas, we are enthusiastic supporters of the arts in all forms.
What are the Performing Arts?
The term refers rather broadly to a wide variety of artistic endeavors. Broadly defined, the performing arts include any creative activity where the artist uses their physical body – either their voice or their body – to perform in front of an audience. This can include something as simple as a puppet show, or as complex as a symphony.
The performing arts are vast and varied; however, they can be fairly easily divided up into one of seven broad categories: opera, dance, theater, music, circus skill, puppetry, and magic. From there, performing arts are defined further by their unique genre. Drama, comedy, tragedy, romance, lyric, epic, satire, and tragicomedy are all performing arts genres.
Truly though, many modern performances are a mixture of types and genres. Totally new hybrids have sprung up from the traditional types of performance. Broadway musicals, for example, combine elements of dance, music and theater to create a totally new, and totally distinct type of performance.
