**DQs:** 1. Male 2. Real 3. Not American 4. Deceased 5. Known for the Arts 6. European 7. Died after 1900 8. Died before 1960 9. From the British-Irish Isles 10. Not from the visual arts, as so defined 11. Known for support of the performing arts, as so defined 12. Not political/military 13. Not known for financial support/patronage of the Arts From the link SCA put up, emphasis mine: Artists who participate in performing arts in front of an audience are called performers. Examples of these include actors, comedians, dancers, [magicians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_(illusion)), [circus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus) artists, musicians, and singers. Performing arts are also **supported by workers in related fields** , such as [songwriting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songwriting), choreography and [stagecraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecraft). Performers often adapt their [appearance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_appearance), such as with [costumes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costume) and [stage makeup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_makeup), [stage lighting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_lighting), and sound. So, not a performer, but someone who makes the performance possible. ---
