What is an action act?

Action acts include high volume, high intensity and lots of movement in the act. Most action acts have a beginning, middle, and end. In other words, it contains the 'hook, line, and sinker'.

Hook: a brief intro about your act what the audience should expect. Its a teaser to reel them into joining the circle.
Line: when you throw a line in fishing you put something out there as bait. In the case of the street performer this can be your act.
Sinker: Many successful performers use their grand finale as the sinker. Usually this is the most exciting and anticipated part of the performance. This is the best chance to persuade your audience to drop some change in our tip jar.
