-Self-discovery and expression
From the very beginnings of the performing arts colleges in London and Paris, the importance of self-expression to artists was emphasised.
-History and education and Performing Arts
One of the reasons why there are so many performing arts colleges in London and Paris, often seen as important educational centres for theatre and dance, is that the performing arts teach us about our history and educate us in other ways.
-Creativity
Above all else, the performing arts are about being creative.
hope this helps :D
