Q&A: This involves allowing the audience to ask the performer questions about their work or themselves. This can be a good way to build a rapport with the audience and create a sense of community.
Interactive Performance: The performer could involve the audience in the performance. For example, they could ask the audience to participate in some way, encourage them to sing or clap along.

Teasers: Before the show, poetry videos or writing blogs can help to keep the audience excited and engaged about the upcoming show.
