-'''Performer''' is an [[occupation]]. Performers will perform for idle [[visitor]]s at your fort's [[tavern]]s and [[temple]]s, through such media as stories, dance, poetry, and music. You may assign any number of your fortress's [[dwarves]] to serve as performers at the tavern and temple locations, and performers from other [[civilization]]s will regularly visit your fort's taverns to entertain taverngoers or [[petition]] for long-term residency.
-Performers serve little practical purpose, as they mostly just duplicate the behavior of other taverngoers, and tavern keeper if assigned to a tavern. However, a skilled performer can significantly boost the mood of any dwarves who observe their work. Performers can take apprentices and pass on their skills to them.{{verify}}
-The performance skills are:

-==Types of Performances==
-===Music===
-There are four instrument skills: [[Keyboardist]], [[Percussionist]], [[Stringed instrumentalist]], [[Wind instrumentalist]], and also one general skill, [[Musician]].
-[http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/early_musical_forms.html Early examples of musical forms].
-===Poetry===
-There is a [[poet]] skill.
-Toady commenting on poetic forms:
-<blockquote>Poetic, musical and dance forms will be generated by culture. There will be both knowledge and skill-based components to this -- so you can't compose a poem of a variety you aren't familiar with, no matter how good you are, but once you learn the rules, the quality will depend on your skills/atts. It'll start with the poet's general skill, and they'll also develop specific skill with the form...</blockquote>
-[http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/early_poetic_forms.html Early examples of poetic forms].
-===Dance===
-There is a [[dancer]] skill. Dancing is initiated by musicians playing music. While one would assume a larger dance floor would increase the chances of dancing, it does the opposite.{{verify}} This is presumably a bug.
-Toady commenting on dancing:
-<blockquote>Every dance is associated to a musical form, and the dances respect the rhythm, tempo and some other elements of the music. I didn't reproduce the rhythm patterns below, but it tries to make elements like the number of steps in a basic movement align with the rhythm and so forth. All of the forms below were generated for humanoid forms, but I'm working toward some support for varied creature bodies -- so you'll see stuff below like "left leg" even though that text doesn't appear in the dwarf raws, and you also won't see useful words like "hips" -- it's a work in progress, but it won't necessarily need to progress on that score before the release. There also aren't certain fundamentals like costumes, and I don't expect to get them in for this time. There will be some further restrictions based on entity character that aren't in yet.</blockquote>
-[http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/early_dance_forms.html Early examples of dance forms].
-==Performance Troupes==
-Occasionally, your fortress may be visited by a ''performance troupe'', which is a collection of performers all working together. The troupe possesses a randomly generated name and often comes in groups of over five individuals, but are otherwise identical to typical performers in functionality.
-== Agents ==
-Note that some performers may/will be [[agent]]s of some sort. Before accepting a [[petition]] from one to permanently join your fortress population, check their [[skill]]s - if their "performing skills" are absent or sketchy, and especially if they're noticeably lower than certain other [[DF2014:Skill#Professions|miscellaneous social skills]] such as [[schemer]] or [[persuader]], it may not be worth the risk.  More immediate [[unfortunate accident|solutions]] are, of course, up to you.
-==Bugs==
