The performing arts is about self exploration and sharing creativity through expression
“Performing arts teach us how to express ourselves. One of the core components of what makes us human is the desire to express our culture, emotions, and beliefs. That desire for expression teaches us a lot about ourselves. We can use the performing arts to understand how society works, and educate ourselves about the world we live in”. University of Derby
