Whenever I've been to gigs where the performer has done a workshop 
beforehand, I've always been much more interested in the workshoppy part 
than in the gig part. Such as, I think a possible avenue for a

so that each 'piece' would be preceded or accompanied by a commentary by 
the performer as to what on earth they're actually doing..
