Variety Arts
What are the Variety Arts?
If you do a search in Wikipedia, there is no entry for Variety Arts. So it mustn’t exist.
Yet there are Variety Artists. They must do something. Right?
I define the Variety Arts as skills and abilities that generally involve the manipulation of props or skill toys, lend themselves to performance, and don’t fit easily within other arts genres. Think circus skills, magical performances, street theater, and the such.
This is an incomplete definition I know. But hopefully it will do for now.
To help better define Variety Arts, I have compiled what I think is the most complete listing of prop based manipulative art forms that a Variety Artist might use. Amaze yourself at the Variety Arts Directory.
