Entertaiment – Connecting With People and Creating Experiences That Bring Joy

Entertaiment is all about connecting with people and creating experiences that bring joy to a variety of audiences. Whether it’s high art, popular culture or a new way to play a video game, entertainment has a powerful influence on the arts and on the world around us. For example, the story of Scheherazade from the Persian professional storytelling tradition has inspired a number of orchestral compositions; directors Pasolini and Rimsky-Korsakov made film adaptations; and recently, it has been used in a groundbreaking new video game.

Entertainment’ is sometimes abbreviated to ‘entmt.’ You might see this on a flier or in industry news articles where space is at a premium. It’s not common in general writing.
