The theater has always been a playground where artists combine different mediums and genres. Plays and musicals rely on the set and lighting to carry the show to a higher level of expression. People from different mediums contribute their work to the overall show being presented.
Dance performances lead the way to some of the most progressive mixtures of medium.
Whether an audience will like or receive the piece well constitutes part of the venture. The risk and daring nature of such blended works diminishes as merging different arts often receives a better reception from the public. The public has started to see the advantages of multi-art performance. Nature itself seeks strength through the combination of materials. The transformation of dance or theater into performance art can be described as a mating of two art forms to produce a stronger offspring.
