“Art enables us to FIND ourselves and LOSE ourselves at the same time.”– Thomas Merton
Performing arts are forms of arts in which the artists use their physical ability, such as body, face and presence, to perform in front of the audience. There are mainly three categories of performing arts - music, drama and dance.
