Little did I know that the Blue Man Group was actually performance artists. I had always heard about them and semi knew what they were about but never have I taken the time to watch them and see exactly what they do. The Blue Man Group actually takes objects of everyday building materials and plays noises on them and makes musical pieces out of these simple items. These three men dress up in a simple costume to not distract the viewers from paying close attention to what they’re actually doing. The main focus of the show is to make music, and make music that has never been heard or seen before. If you heard these sounds on the radio or something, I don’t necessarily think it would be as effective because the greatest part about performance art is actually seeing it in person. They also use elements like light and paint to create an even better aesthetic. I always knew I wanted to see the Blue Man Group, but now that I actually know what they’re all about I definitely want to see them perform live in person. -Kara French

Oh yea! I love the blue man group, and they are most likely the most well know performance artists n the US if not the world! Excellent pick, I love it when I see post of things that I knew of but had never really sat down and thought of what art it entails.

The Blue Man group is a performance art group I had always heard about and my father and brother actually got to see one of their shows once. I did not get many details but they said it was good. I never quite knew what they did but it is good to finally see an example of their work and know for sure what they do… or what them being blue was for. It is an interesting thing that they do.
