In general, performance means particular actions or a series of actions (play, music, sports, etc.) that are performed at a particular place under the given situation. In other words, performance is a series of actions consisting of gestures and words. Basic factors of performance are performers, texts, audience, and context. In Pansori, performers are a singer and a drummer; text is a community-based story; audience is spectators who directly take a part in performance through Chuimsae (words of exclaiming or adding to the fun); context is numerous places where performance is taken like market, a nobleman's house, a banquet hall, etc.
This performance uses a human's body or an object disguised as a human body like a doll as the main means of expression.
