How to place instruction at the centre of the work?
'I've got something I'd like to show you'

Step
Step'

How to put a frame around events to introduce our intentions?
How to make an invitation to do something?
How to state the instruction?
'We're going to try something a bit different tonight, Ladies and Gentlemen.
When the lights come on I will dance for you. When they go off I will stop'.
