Oh come on it is,
"I am going to show the plight of the rainforest butterfly through the medium of Dance"
I would rather have the forests chopped down than to be forced to watch that.
Anyone agree?

Performance arts and the people involved in it are very artisitically inclined people who are able to express themselves through whatever medium they choose. They are artists who are very dedicated to their calling. A lot of people who understand this appreciate what they do and for those who do not, they need not offer any explanation.
If watching "the plight of the rainforest butterfly" or whatever it is is so horrible to you then don't watch it. That is your choice. Doing the dance is their choice. Wars have been started for the same lack of understanding that you have displayed.

That garbage grew out of the 'express your inner self' philosophy of art. It suggests that what an artist has to say is more important than their ability to say it well. This school of thought has led to the rotten state of poetry and painting today, and to be frank, the demise of music as a serious artform.
In its own way, isn't rap the same thing? Just because a guy buys a drum machine and can mechanically rhyme a bunch of words makes him an artist? OK, OK, not all of it is terrible, but most of it certainly is.
I think the problem is that people have become very passive. Being a real artist in any field is just too much hard work, and since the audiences obviously don't give a flying bleep, why bother? It could even be argued that many audiences resent artists who show technical proficiency, or who have put something in their work that requires a little attention payed by the audience.
This condition will prevail as long as people submit to the inert blob style of involvement with the arts and life in general. TV has done a great disservice to humanity in this regard, I believe.

Because its neither performance or art. Like conceptual art you have to think about it, it can be whatever you want it to be etc. Its all a con and nothing to do with art at all.
