Performance Art

Arts

A performance, in performing arts, generally comprises an event in which a performer or group of performers behave in a particular way for another group of people, the audience.

Choral music and ballet are examples. Usually the performers participate in rehearsals beforehand. Afterwards audience members often applaud. After a performance, performance measurement sometimes occurs. Performance measurement is the process of collecting, analyzing and/or reporting information regarding the performance of an individual, group, organization, system or component.
