Performing arts is a class of art forms that focus on artists using their voices or bodies (or alternatively, inanimate objects) to convey artistic expression, rather than paint, canvas, and similar materials as in the visual arts. This class includes theatre, dance, and other disciplines which are performed in front of a live audience. Performing arts are present in all human cultures, and many are performed professionally, either in purpose-built buildings or on stages (whether at festivals, in tents, or on the street). Live performances before audiences are a form of entertainment, and are often known for aiming to express human sentiment and emotion.
