What 🎭️ performing arts means
A small mixed set covering making things. 🎨 stands for creative work generally, 🖼️ for finished art, 🎭 for drama in the gossip sense as much as theatre. The crafting half — 🧵, 🧶, 🪡, 🪢 — has an odd second life: 🧵 is the standard marker for a multi-post thread on social platforms, which has nothing to do with sewing.
Unicode tags this one actor, actress and art and files it under Activities → Arts & Crafts.
