Introduction

Theatre, dance and music are some of the oldest forms of art that still exist. Consequently, the course Performing Arts is the first of a number of specialist courses in the Arts Management Programme. Dramatic art includes both traditional and experimental theatre, as well as stand-up, musicals and revues. Moreover, the concept of dramatic art also covers traditional forms of opera and ballet. In this context the music is limited to the classical music that is performed in concert halls and other arenas. A common aspect of dramatic art and orchestral activities is that they are performing arts; it is about a performance here and now for a specific audience. The condition of performance in these sectors pose a number of financial, marketing and organizational challenges that will be dealt with in the course.
