Performing_arts [agentive]
The Performers, together with behind the scenes Personnel, execute a Performance according to a Script and/or Score. The purpose of the Performance is to create an experience for an Audience, who then judge its merits. Performances may be in many different Mediums and be of various Types.
This frame is very elaborate in modern society and there are a number of traditions and practices typically (but not necessarily) related to Performances:
The Performance is preceded by many practice sessions in which the Performers and other Personnel attempt to improve the quality and/or fidelity of their individual and collective performances to the Script and/or Score.
The Audience members pay a fee to experience the Performance.
The Performers (and Personnel) receive payment for contributing to the Performance.
Often there are other individuals involved in the specifically financial aspects of the Performance and Performers.
Critics act as part of the Audience and then write reviews that evaluate the merits of the Performance, describing the Performance (and potentially the Script and Score and contributions of other Personnel) to other potential Audience members.
Due to the high quality of previous Performances, Performers can become famous, i.e. well known and liked. Those who like them particularly well become fans of the Performer. (Shared with writers...)
