Best Answer

Performance art is a performance presented to an audience, traditionally interdisciplinary. Performance may be either scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated; spontaneous or otherwise carefully planned with or without audience participation.

A performing arts course is an invaluable way of gaining a rounded and informed view of the industry, as well as gaining specific skills and discipline(s) in your chosen area of specialty. Courses can focus on a particular area, while others may give a broader overview before you specialise.

The course will develop and fine tune your original talent, in addition to teaching you new techniques to enhance your performance, e.g. movement, improvisation and breathing. Courses often involve acquiring new skills such as mime (actors and dancers) and choreography (dancers). Some will also provide you with relevant technical understanding: how to use sophisticated sound and lighting equipment or how to stage a production.

Most courses introduce you to the history of individual performing arts and the different influences that have shaped them. You also develop an understanding of related subjects such as anatomy, sociology, media and culture.

Performance skills and stagecraft are also developed through real performances. Another key aspect is working with industry professionals and beginning to build your performance networks and contacts.

Studying performing arts also gives you a range of skills sought after by all types of employers:

  • confidence;
  • self-presentation;
  • teamwork and collaboration;
  • time management and organisational skills;
  • self-awareness;
  • self-discipline;
  • an open mind and the ablitity to move beyond boundaries and experiment with different ideas;
  • communication skills;
  • analytical, critical and research skills;
  • the ability to cope with criticism and learn from it;
  • stamina.

Consider the skills developed on your course as well as through your other activities, such as paid work, volunteering, family responsibilities, sport, membership of societies, leadership roles, etc. Think about how these can be used as evidence of your skills and personal attributes. Then you can start to market and sell who you really are, identify what you may be lacking and consider how to improve your profile. Take a look at job application advice for some useful tips.

Three difference between visual art and performing art?

Visual art and performing art differ in several ways. Firstly, visual art is typically created using physical materials such as paint, charcoal, or clay, whereas performing art is created through movement, speech, or sound. Secondly, visual art is usually presented as a static object that can be viewed at any time, whereas performing art is presented live and in real-time, with the audience present to experience it. Thirdly, visual art often requires the viewer to be physically present to experience it, whereas performing art often involves a direct interaction between the performer and the audience. Lastly, visual art can often be preserved and enjoyed for generations, whereas performing art is ephemeral, existing only in the moment of its creation.


Is martial art a performance?

That depends. A martial art in the strict sense is a fighting art, not a performing art. And Martial Arts performed in fighting competition are not a performing art either: they are a sport. But when when martial-art drills are performed as a display (e.g. forms performed in ceremonies and parades) that is a performing art, and when choreographed "fights" are staged as part of a dramatic performance (e.g. for films or in Chinese Opera), that is a performing art too, especially when showy acrobatic moves instead of ones that could be effective.
