On what basis can performance art be understood as different from traditional drama?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The artist's action, time, and idea can become the artwork itself
The governing concept is the role of action, duration, presence, and idea in performance art. In traditional drama, a scripted story, characters, dialogue, and an established theatrical structure are usually central. Performance art may instead present an artist’s real action, bodily presence, use of time, or conceptual process as the work itself; it does not always depend on a conventional plot or character system. Option C is correct because it identifies this defining possibility. Options A and D are false because performance normally involves presentation and may involve viewers. Option B describes craft rather than performance art.
