performance art
World Encyclopedia | Date: 2005
performance art Events that take place before an audience, but which defy the traditional definitions of
drama and
music. Arguably originating in the USA in the 1960s, performance art is often visually oriented. It tends to be multi-disciplinary, and sometimes improvised or spontaneous.
