The Art of Entertaiment

Whether in the form of a game, a story, or a performance for an audience, entertaiment has a powerful capacity to cross over between different media. Activities once used in hunting or war, such as archery and fencing, can be adapted for spectator sports; or stories like Scheherazade, from the Persian professional storytelling tradition, can inspire a work by Rimsky-Korsakov or Ravel, a film adaptation, and innovative video games.
