To complicate matters further, dramatic activities are not always easy to distinguish from religious, social, and courtly entertainments, and the actors themselves seem to have been drawn just as frequently for these entertainments from the ranks of amateurs as they were from troupes of professional actors« Moreover, professional actors seem to have been just as concerned with developing their skills in juggling, tumbling, and dancing as they were with exploiting those skills that pertain more directly to playing, and they perhaps found more frequent occasion to use their athletic than their histrionic prowess.
