Heh. I've seen buyers (of other things, I don't sell cars of course)
who've been acting their hearts out! :-) But for me it'd be the whole
thing, buyer and seller combined.

They are if they're dressed up in daft costumes or plastered with
team colours makeup, mugging for the TV cameras. (And a social
anthropologist would probably argue that that kind of crowd behaviour
includes aspects of performance... ;-)

'Zactly: winning at bingo. Could be serious performance there! I've
never actually played bingo so I couldn't say for sure, but I can
imagine people can get pretty triumphant.
The way the theme Performing Arts, which can include "Performance",
has been presented is as a highly inclusive concept. To put it in a
dull-but-complete way it covers any and all situations where someone
alters how they they might ordinarily do something (or where someone
does it in the first place) because of others that are or might be
watching.
Pat's essay - which can be found at

- offers a goodly number of suggestions, but remember that it is
meant as a starting point and as inspiration.
