Entertaiment – The Art and Skill of Entertaining People

Entertaiment is the art and skill of entertaining people. It involves the creation and performance of art forms such as theatre, music, dance, film, photography and gaming. Entertainment can be social and escapist in nature, or it can be part of an educational experience. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to any scale, from a single individual who chooses entertainment from the now enormous array of available pre-recorded products; to a banquet for two; to a party for hundreds; to performances intended for global audiences. It also shows the ability to cross over different mediums: Scheherazade, for example, was the inspiration for orchestral works by Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel, a film by Pasolini and an innovative video game.
