Performance art

Performance art is like a play, but instead of actors and actresses pretending to be different characters, it is usually just one performer. The performer plays out a story or idea using their body, words, movements, and sometimes props and costumes. They might show different emotions or tell a story without saying any words. Performance art is often very creative and uses different kinds of art, like dance, theater, music, painting, and more.
