The performing arts are those forms of art which differ from the plastic arts insofar as the former uses the artist's own body, face, and presence as a medium, and the latter uses materials such as clay, metal or paint which can be molded or transformed to create some physical art object. The term "performing arts" first appeared in the English language in the year 1711.

why do they reject me because I do performing arts?
Q. I am doing performing arts student and I need a small job, but if I go and ask anywhere outside the theatre, they reject me when they hear that I do performing arts. Why is this? Just because I need time off for shows, doesn't mean I don't want a job at all.

A. Most of the time employers see Performing Arts individuals as unstable. They consider us a risk for their business and would rather hire someone that will not have a conflict of interest, as they like to call it. A lot of minimum wage jobs also go through employees at a high rate so they have a tendency to say no when or if they see a potential risk. I am not sure what type of performing arts you are in but I know this applies especially to actors more than dancers, as actors seem to get called for castings/auditions on the spot and have to drop what they are doing to run to the audition. If you are a dancer, that usually doesnt happen that frequently so maybe you should explain that you are a dancer and you dont have a million… [cont.]

What are some good universities that focus on the performing arts?
Q. I'm currently a Junior in high school right now, and I want to go to a university that focuses on the performing arts as a whole. I'm a singer in my high school choir, and I'm also an actress in my community. My hope is to pursue both! What universities would be the best to pursue both singing AND acting?

What is the best route to take to become a performing arts teacher?
Q. I am currently still in secondary school but would like to know what college/uni courses I should take to be able to teach performing arts

A. most universities have course catalogs that tell you what classes you need for a specific major & credential. These are usually set up sequentially & not always offered every semester. Contact a university you are interested in and obtain a catalog. For performing arts you will be required to do everything a performance major does for freshman, sophomore, & junior year, then the paths usually diverge a bit & educators get teacher theory & practicum courses.
