The three main components, Performance, Visual Art, and Music.

We have been looking at examples of each of the components of Perf-Art. So some examples of what we think the finished painting on the inside of the Perf-Art cubicle will look like, what we are hoping the performance will look like, and types of music that would work well.


Dom said to me that straight away the artist he though of who's work he thinks would most likely resemble Perf-Art work is Jackson Pollack. These two paintings are his work, and I freaking agree with Dominic. I had a very similar idea of what the painting would look like, I just wasn't knowledgeable to be able to put an artist to the work. But there we go, Jackson Pollack.
This type of work is Abstract Expressionism.

This video is an example of interpretive dance. We saw it as a great video because the dancer seems to completely block out the world around her, focusing on her internal self. It's also a good example video because the performer is within an enclosed space, and obviously an artist taking part in Perf-Art will be within a small area too.

This song, from American Beauty could either stir up some deep emotions for people, because it's calm and delicate and ridiculously beautiful and stirring. OR, it could make people laugh and think of a flying plastic bag because of where the song appears in the film. It is an amazing piece of music and so Dominic and I felt it would be a fantastic example anyway, to show the type of music that could be used in Perf-Art to stir emotion in the artist/performer.

A different style of interpretive dance, filled with more movement and with more space used. I think the dancer is amazing. She moves with grace, man!
