This document compares and contrasts four expressive art forms: dance, music, literature, and theater. It notes that dance and music are physical forms of expression that convey emotion through sound, rhythm, and movement, while literature is consumed through reading and imagination and theater is presented through live performances with actors, props, and sets. Both literature and theater tell stories and represent artistic expression.
