in a theatre, or on radio or television.
Theater is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performers, typically actors
or actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live
audience in a specific place, often a stage. The performers may communicate this
experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song, music,
and dance. Elements of art, such as painted scenery and stagecraft such as lighting
are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience.
PERFORMING ARTS

expression or in a social, spiritual or performance setting. Dance' is also used to describe
methods of non-verbal communication between humans or animals (bee dance, mating dance),
motion in inanimate objects (the leaves danced in the wind), and certain music genres.
