Activities of performing arts

NACE v2.1 Code: S90.2

About activities of performing arts

NACE code 90.2 covers a diverse range of performing arts activities, including live performances in theaters, concert halls, and other venues. This industry plays a vital role in the cultural and creative sectors, contributing to the enrichment of communities and the preservation of artistic heritage. The performing arts industry not only provides entertainment and cultural experiences for audiences but also supports a wide range of ancillary businesses, such as event management, ticketing, and hospitality services.

Production process

The production techniques used in the performing arts industry vary depending on the specific art form, but generally involve the rehearsal and staging of live performances. This may include the development of scripts, choreography, and musical compositions, as well as the coordination of technical elements such as lighting, sound, and stage design. Performers, directors, and production crews work collaboratively to bring these artistic visions to life on stage.

Production inputs

The performing arts industry relies on a range of inputs, including talented performers (actors, musicians, dancers, etc.), creative professionals (writers, composers, choreographers, etc.), and technical staff (stage managers, lighting and sound technicians, etc.). Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment and infrastructure, such as performance venues, rehearsal spaces, and production facilities. Funding, whether from public sources, private investors, or ticket sales, is also a critical input for the industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the performing arts industry is live performances and cultural experiences for audiences. These performances can take many forms, including plays, musicals, concerts, dance recitals, and more. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, such as 93.2 Sports activities and amusement and recreation activities, 55.1 Hotels and similar accommodation, and 56.1 Restaurants and mobile food service activities, as the performing arts can drive tourism, hospitality, and other related economic activities.
