In modern societies, the performing arts form a distinct
category of public entertainment in opposition to the mass
distribution through the media of expertly staged
performances which have been recorded and edited. By
contrast, theater, ballet, circus, concert, rodeo, storytelling,
etc., unfold their signs in real space and time, and engage
audiences who respond cognitively and emotionally on the
spot. Performers and audiences are involved in shared
enjoyment. But sometimes frustration occurs within the
boundaries of such ritualistic events. In industrialized and
computerized cultures, the performing arts become
economically unstable because the institutions which
sustain them increasingly depend on public and corporate
funding. However, they retain their power of fascination
for large, if not massive audiences, who prize the experiential,
risk-loaded and one-time event quality they afford. In
traditional and local cultures, performances still survive
and provide their audiences with a unique fulfillment in
smaller scale, economically sustainable institutional settings.
