Performance art refers largely to a performance which is presented to an audience but which does not seek to present a conventional theatrical play or a formal linear narrative, or which alternately does not seek to depict a set of fictitious characters in formal scripted interactions.

Organizing a "flash mob" basically involves e-mailing a bunch of people with instructions to show up at a certain place for a few moments, then disappear.

Another type of silent party, known as Mobile Clubbing, involves the gathering of a group of people in an unconventional location to dance to music which they provide themselves via a Portable audio player, such as an MP3 player, listened to on headphones. These flash mob gatherings may involve hundreds of people, transforming public spaces into temporary clubbing areas, in which dancers listen to their personal playlists. To an observer it would appear that the participants are dancing for no apparent reason. Mobile Clubbing events are organized using mass-emails, word-of-mouth and/or social networking websites such as Facebook.
