Portal talk:Performance art

Other departments

There are other departments list on various pages, but at the moment none of them have pages. I would prefer someone of high expertise and experience create them.

Visual performance department does not match listing

On both the School of Art and Design page and the Division of Fine Arts page, under the section Division of Performance Art, the departments listed are:

• Acting (Film and Stage)
• Dance and Physical Theatre
• Technical Theatre
• Music

However, on the Division of Performance Art page, under the section Division and Departments there exists a department called Visual performance. They do not match. Either the Visual performance department should change names, be added to the main list of departments, or be deleted.

I changed this page a bit because Stage and Film acting art taught seperately in every school and it should be no different here. Also Musical Theatre is a huge acting department and it isn't merely "music." I'll definately help update this page since I am an actor and I have tons of personal notes on the topic. It's a very argued subject and there is no right way to the art entirely. Richandler 07:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Description and Histories for Departments

Hi, I am new and so feel as though I must ask permission.

• My initial interest is in the description of each department. Currently, Acting for the stage and film have the same general history of acting. I have been a student and practitioner of the craft of acting for fourteen years and would love the opportunity to clarify the differences and give a brief history (which could be expanded) of both.

• I will create a sample for Acting for the Stage if someone within this department is willing to review it.

Definition of Performance Art vs Performing Arts

"Performance Art" seems to be confused here with "Performing Arts." The latter is a broad category which includes all of the performing arts. "Performance Art" is a much more specific term which relates to an unconventional and avant-garde style of performance. Type "Performance Art" in the search box to see the "Introduction to Performance Art" article. --gdm 03:27, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Agree- I have just started to develop Topic:Art Studies and History where I have a page for Performance Art. Shall we change the name of this department to Performing Arts as suggested above. Dx (discuss • contribs) 22:42, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
