on such arts as acting, poetry, music, dance, and painting.

• The foremost purpose of performance art has almost always been to challenge the conventions of traditional forms of visual art such as
painting and sculpture.

 EXAMPLE OF PERFORMANCE ART

• Music
• Dance
• Theatre
 MUSIC

Music is an art form which combines pitch, rhythm, and

dynamic to create sound. It can be performed using a
variety of instruments and styles and is divided into
genres such as folk, jazz, hip hop, pop, and rock, etc. As
an art form, music can occur in live or recorded formats,
and can be planned or improvised.
As music is a protean art, it easily coordinates with words
for songs as physical movements do in dance.
Moreover, it has a capability of shaping human behaviors
as it impacts our emotions.
 DANCE

In the context of performing arts, dance generally refers

to human movement, typically rhythmic and to music,
used as a form of audience entertainment in a
performance setting.
Definitions of what constitutes dance are dependent on
social, cultural, aesthetic, artistic, and moral constraints
and range from functional movement (such as folk dance)
to codified, virtuoso techniques such as ballet.
Choreography is the art of making dances, and the person
who practices this art is called a choreographer.
 THEATRE

Theatre is the branch of performing arts concerned with

acting out stories in front of an audience, using a combination
of speech, gesture, music, dance, sound, and spectacle.
Any one or more of these elements is considered performing
arts. In addition to the standard narrative dialogue style of
plays, theater takes such forms as plays, musicals, opera,
ballet, illusion, mime, classical Indian dance, kabuki,
mummers' plays, improvisational theatre, comedy,
pantomime, and non-conventional or contemporary forms
like postmodern theatre, post dramatic theatre, or
performance art.
