Performance art started around in the 1900s where the art movement of Dadaism also happened.
Performance art is about an artistic manifestation purely relying on performance. The performance is
presented to an audience, mainly for entertainment purposes. There are a few examples of performance
art where it shows singing,acting,dancing, opera, mime, public speaking and even magic or illusion
performances. The main point of performance art is to convey a message either by something relating to the opposition of the government or the understanding of society. In general, it conveys various messages based on events, issues, criticism, and it’s all based on art, expressionism, or improvisation
