Music and Voice from new and emerging genre and artists is transcending basic entertainment to where dramatic, contemporary, and powerful performances convey strong emotions, intense stories, and shared vulnerabilities to evoke a wide range of emotive responses.

Dance of the world and its performers is  contributing to unique and inclusive cultural landscapes, such as jazz dance, tap, hip-hop, swing, breakdance, modern dance, country western, house, and krump of U.S. origin along side salsa, cha-cha-cha, rumba, afrobeat, bollywood dance, taiko, k-pop, b-boying, ballet, step dance, samba, and reggae dancehall. Dance is a global heritage.

Performance on stage, in film, in opera, in poetic recitations, in storytelling, in stand-up comedy, adapted to maintain cultural essence and significance, on the street and in public spaces can transform the space, shift perception and stimulate a sensory experience of its audience. 

Classical arts remain a vital part of modern entertainment, in reverence for tradition, even as they are adapted to new cultural and technological landscapes and their relevance and popularity is ongoing. Digital platforms for streaming performances, virtual reality experiences, and social media promotion has expanded the reach of classical arts from an aging to younger audiences. Online content and digital archives make classical works more accessible to global audiences.
