Performance art is a term that covers any form of art in which an action is carried out by the artist. This includes the more commonly thought of examples such as theatre and dance but also includes opera and even magic, among others.
There are essentially four main elements in performance art and they are time, space, the performer’s body and a relationship between the performer and the audience. Performance art can take place in any form of venue, both conventional and unconventional, and can last for any length of time.
