This paper seeks to explain how important it is thatperformance artists have the opportunity to performregularly and venues in which to do so. It is a crucialfactor in preventing traditional performance arts fromdying out. Spectators thus learn to understand, enjoyand appreciate the dances and the music, and it ishelpful for the performers to have the sense ofimportance that they get from performing in public. Iuse one of the Japanese performing folk arts, Ishiokabayashi,as a case study. This paper is divided into two sections. Firstly I try toillustrate what Yanagita Kunio describes as ‘festivalism’by explaining how relatively minor rituals havedeveloped into full blown festivals. Secondly, Iinvestigate the background of Ishioka-bayashi, and howit was created. This particular case study demonstrateswhat can happen when a group of performers is unableto practice their art.
