in einem Abiturzeugnis/ sorry Abgangszeugnis wurde das Fach "darstellendes Spiel" belegt.

Nun liegt mir die Möglichkeit "performing Arts" vor . Was würde man für die USA sagen, was würde dort verstanden?

agree  Wendy Streitparth: I'd agree with acting for UK
59 mins
  -> I'd go with theater because it includes performance, dance, etc. Still waiting for summer to come back, it's COLD!

agree  Edith Kelly: Hot here ... 33°C, now idea what this is in °F.
4 hrs
  -> It's hot in F°, too!

agree  Herbmione Granger: Theater / Yep, and (for asker) don't spell it "Theatre" in the U.S. :)
4 hrs
  -> Something to act on!

agree  Björn Vrooman: Theater (Arts) is all you need. From IN (p. 148): http://www.doe.in.gov/sites/default/files/ccr/17-18-ctd-all-... Acting is too limited, IMO (DS may involve production). I think it's drama classes in the UK.
8 hrs
  -> Yeah!

agree  Johanna Timm, PhD: Dramatic Arts in Canada https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/tric/article/view/7106...
9 hrs
  -> Ever been on stage?

agree  Mack Tillman
1 day 4 hrs
  -> Mack the Knife?

agree  AllegroTrans
1 day 5 hrs
  -> NOT the same old song and dance ;-)!

Agree with ntext. Performing Arts is too broad. Let me change this to..

...Theater Arts

neutral  NGK: performing arts is a wider term that can also include music and dance, whereas darstellendes Spiel almost certainly refers to theater / drama
5 hrs
  -> Correct. Important distinction. Performing arts is more widely used but that's because it covers more than is needed here.
