How to use "Gimmick" in context?
In the world of theater, a "gimmick" is a unique aspect of a performance that is used to entertain or engage the audience. While some gimmicks may be more conventional (such as a clown), others may be more experimental (such as a snake dancer). A gimmick can be anything from a prop to a performer's costume or movement.
Despite the negative connotations associated with the word "gimmick," a good gimmick can be a welcomed addition to a performance. It can help to set the tone and atmosphere, and can be used to create surprise and intrigue.
