Description Graphic images can be performed live in front of an audience for entertainment. The images may be improvised or played according to a pre-determined plan (score). Improvised live is strongly preferred. And to be clear, performing graphics is NEVER, EVER PRE-RECORDED AND THEN PLAYED BACK (no viscotheque).
