1. Arts involving performance

The performing arts include theatre, dance and other forms of movement, opera, film and television, as well as instrumental and vocal music. Some performing arts are now lost – sagas, narrative poetry and storytelling, for instance; others are marginal as performing arts – poetry, for example. Some activities that include performance are not counted among the arts, such as circus, striptease and televised advertisements.
