Possible pathologies induced by the performing arts profession

Abstract

Although artistic professions have their intrinsic charm and are primarily a vocation and passion, they sometimes carry the burden of a less romantic reality: the risk of developing occupational diseases. Despite sounding paradoxical in a field fueled by creativity and expression, these professions come with a distinct set of hazards associated with the nature of artistic work. Occupational diseases, defined as conditions acquired during the practice of a particular activity, can emerge as a significant aspect within the realm of the arts. The concept of occupational illness can be an important consideration in the context of artistic work.
