The entertainer is the consummate perfectionist, a world-renowned master, and an artist in a particular role or performance. They embody genius in their creations and in the executions of their art. They may be a dancer, a puppeteer, a mime, a ballerina, and even magician, but their commonality is that their performances are built on the consistency and power of the character or of a discipline.
