Performing Art

From the very beginnings of the performing arts, the importance of self-expression to artists were expressed.  The theatre, dance and other performing arts can teach people how to express themselves effectively, and can also be a tool through which people with disabilities can communicate.  Many performing artist suffer from shyness when they start attending classes, and gradually become more confident as they find ways to communicate.  In addition to teaching self, expression, the performing arts help society as a whole in self-knowledge and understanding.  Theatre and the performing arts teach society about itself, hoping to point out the attitudes and mindsets of current society.  It can be a tool used to educate people about their current conditions.  Performing arts teach us about our history and educate people about their current conditions.

Performing arts teach us about our history and educate us in other ways.  It helps us understand people around us and how they might be expected to react in certain situations.

Performing arts are about being creative.  Without a creative voice, a society may become all but dead inside, and a social group without any creativity is likely to be repressive and tyrannical rather than a force for good.  The importance of having people in society who can express themselves creatively is without doubt very crucial.  Most social groups have some kind of performing arts courses.  What is vital is that performing arts continue to be nurtured and encouraged.
