My Definition of Performance Art

 I think performance art is done with the body in some method. The act that is done by the artist is done with an audience in mind. It can be taped, or live. It can follow a script, be completely random, or have no speech at all just action. 

     But mostly I think performance art tries to convey a message that you can only be done with the body and action. A message that the artists feels cannot be conveyed through painting, drawing, sculpture or a photograph
