dead in the water

Who deserves the credit of the art, the dancer or the choreographer?

The painted model pretending to be a statue or the provisioner who planned it out?

Original writer of the play or the director expressing himself in the play or should it be the actors?

We have talked about this quite a bit in class, with mixed results. We couldn't draw or agree on a solid line who should get the credit.

In my opinion everyone should get credit because play would be incomplete with out its actors who are expressing themselves, the play wouldn't happen with out the new director, and it would never began if the original author didn't express himself in the first place.

every one who contributes to the piece is an artist. because they are not robots, the do not just do things exactly as they re told, people express themselves and put emotion, and intention into their actions.

so now you tell me

whats the instance of an art where the author or creator takes all the credit?
