 The use of '''[[actor]]''' as a general term referring to both male and female performers in a play or film has come into vogue in some circles since the late 1990's. It will not be used in that way in [[ESAT]], however. To  avoid problems of gender, the neutral term '''[[performer]]''' is thus generally employed, except where citing from a work following the older usage.

 A third meaning, which has become prominent during the second half of this century, derives from Victor Turner and [[Richard Schechner]]’s important and influential writings about the notion of [[performance]] and the theoretical approach they refer to as '''[[performance theory]]''' (see below).
