Credit to Svetlana and Grey0 who both riffed on better versions of this idea when I brought it up. The idea is essentially to expand the
improv,
play,
compose,
forget, and
playlist performance verbs beyond musical instruments so as to allow for other types of performance other than the musical/stage kind, for example agitprop, performance art, street preaching, or other types musical performances that are not using typical instruments.
Svetlana had the excellent (and very thematic in my opinion) suggestion of a megaphone object that could work for performances (ie. agitprop), which I think has a lot of mechanical potential as its own idea even beyond performance (like as a super yell), while Grey0 suggested shifting the performance verbs off objects and onto player bits so people could be more freeform on how they utilize the performance system.
