What are some performing arts schools? Is there a website that could help me out?

I’m kind of looking for one of those actual school schools that does the regular required basic subjects for students(such as social studies, english, etc.) but has an emphasis on the performing arts (musicians, actresses, dancers, etc.) for serious performers-in-training. I myself mostly act in drama, but I like singing and lyricwriting too. Anywhere, preferably in washington state, but honestly anything you know is fine. I’m just really curious as to see what there is.

Sounds like you want a University as opposed to a conservatory school. The best way to find the school that fits you is to visit them. Start with state schools in Washington and the surrounding area. They will probably have a day for visitors to come check them out, but try to get a private appointment. You will be more likely to see what the school is really like – when they aren’t trying to impress future students. You might also look at Bachelor of Art programs, because they are more comprehensive.

The Arts $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The arts is a broad subdivision of culture, composed of many creative endeavors and disciplines. It is a broader term than art, which as a description of a field usually means only the visual arts. The arts encompasses visual arts, literature and the performing arts music, drama, dance and film, among others. This list is by no means comprehensive, but only meant to introduce the concept of the arts. A good definition of the arts is given by the Free Dictionary as imaginative, creative, and nonscientific branches of knowledge considered collectively, esp. as studied academically. The singular term art is defined by the Irish Art Encyclopedia as follows: Art is created when an artist creates a beautiful object, or produces a stimulating experience that is considered by his audience to have artistic merit. The same source states: Art is a global activity which encompasses a host of disciplines, as evidenced by the range of words and phrases which have been invented to describe its various forms. Examples of such phraseology include: Fine Arts, Liberal Arts, Visual Arts, Decorative Arts, Applied Arts, Design, Crafts, Performing Arts, and so on.
