Unlike in hymnal filk, in performance filk the people typically sit in a rough circle facing each other and take turns performing. There are a number of kinds of circle:

  • Bardic Circle: A circle in which everyone takes turns as the performer.
  • Chaos Circle: Also an open filk. A filking circle which has no organization and participants jump in when they feel like it. This is prone to abuse by filkhogs.
  • Poker Chip Circle: A filk circle invented by Lee Gold and Barry Gold in which each participant gets a poker chip. To take a turn singing, they toss their poker chip into the center and singing continues until everyone has had a turn. Then the chips are redistributed.
