PERFORMANCE
ARTS
a time-based art form that typically features a live
presentation to an audience or to onlookers (as on a
street) and draws on such arts as acting, poetry,
music, dance, and painting. It is generally an event
rather than an artifact, by nature ephemeral, though
it is often recorded on video and by means of still
photography.

4. PERFORMANCE
ARTS
is ascribed to art that involves the body of the artist
or other collaborators in live or recorded action.
There is often no other physical output besides the
documentation of the action that took place. This
non-traditional form of art allowed artists to work with
the experience of live-ness and impermanence in
their work.

5. Many productions in the performing arts take place in some type of theater. Most theaters consist of an
elevated stage and a space for a live audience, and the most common art forms that occur there are
acting and music. Theatrical stage productions involve the reenactment of written stories taken from
literary works or independent creations. Actors may communicate performances with spoken words, a
combination of singing and spoken words, or silent gestures. The Cultural Center of the Philippines is
considered to be the premiere place for performing arts. It has local and international world-class guest
artists.

8. Poetry, from the Greek “poiesis”—meaning a "making", seen also in such
terms as "hemopoiesis"; more narrowly, the making of poetry, is a form of
literary art which uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such
as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in
addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning.

30. Performance art always involves the body of the artist or other people the artist
has commissioned to help with producing the piece. It can take place live, in
public, or be a recorded experience that took place in a private setting or closed
gallery. Often, performance art involves other mediums and objects, but the main
focus is the action that takes place by the performer. Let’s look at different types
of performance art.
30
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
PERFORMANCE ART

31. The category “action” is one of the first types of modern performance art. The name
aimed to set this kind of art apart from traditional art forms as well as distinguish it
from the theater, plays, or music performances. It also shows how artists thought of
the work they produced as this term was used, for example, by action painters in
the 1950s to highlight the meeting of the painter with the painting.

32. Body art placed the body of the performer at the center of the art piece. The body
became the medium, subject, and surface where the artwork took place. This put
an emphasis on first-person experience and brought the artist even more to the
center of the work created. The political persona came more into focus post-
1960s as the social atmosphere was changing and taboos around nudity were
being challenged by artists.

33. “Happenings” became a famous type of performance art during the 1960s. It
centered around the involvement of the audience and for the first time brought
improvisation into the act of performance. The idea that anything could happen
during these performances and that what took place might never be repeated
exactly again was characteristic of these events.

HAPPENINGS

34. Most of the above-mentioned movements were absorbed as characteristics of
contemporary performance art, but Endurance art became such a famous sub-section of
performance art that it earned its own name that is still being used today. Endurance
performance involves the artist or performer putting their body under strain or pain to
communicate the message of the work. The importance of endurance in making
performance art the art form it is today is evident in the kinds of themes addressed by
performance artists during the post-war era.

35. Ritual means to perform a specific set of actions in a way prescribed by religion,
group, or institution. However, ritual is often a very important part of performance
artworks. In this instance, the artist is the one deciding which actions will be
performed, how they will be performed and how they will be repeated to create the
feeling of ritual or ceremony.

36. Performance artists that practiced during the 1950s, 1960s, and
1970s were pioneers in this medium that was never used so
seriously before. There was so much to discover and explore, as
examples of performance art were few.
