Anything presented with all your passion, heart and soul, is my definition for Performance Arts. Be it musical, humour, magical and so forth (plays, acts, ....).

Let's start off with comedy. I specially enjoy watching Silent Comedy, hence my love for Sir Charlie Chaplin. I've learned that Charlie is one of the masters for timing (in his comedy) among the performing artistes. I have a vivid idea of this timing thing. I use it in animation too. It is something that seems so easy to capture yet it slips away easily too.

Doesn't matter what timing in there means above there. My question is, what is your definition for timing under this topic?
