performance tradition

Performance tradition refers to the established practices, styles, and standards that are maintained and passed down within a specific art form, such as theater, dance, or music. It encompasses the techniques, aesthetics, and interpretations that define how performances are conducted and recognized as authentic or exemplary. These traditions often develop over generations, shaping a community’s identity and understanding of their craft. While they provide continuity and a sense of heritage, performers may also adapt or innovate within the tradition to keep it relevant and expressive.
