Description of theatre and music person creating star, possibly (10,4)

I believe the answer is:

performing arts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'description of theatre and music' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'person creating star possibly' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'per' (abbreviation).
'creating' becomes 'forming' (forming is a kind of creating).
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'star' is an anagram of 'arts'.
'per'+'forming'+'arts'='PERFORMING ARTS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for performing arts that I've seen before include "field of activity?" , "the field of dancers and musicians" , "Stage and screen" , "Music and drama" , "stage shows, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
