I've heard about this talk: A TED speaker's worst nightmare, and it's pretty hilarious. Not long, just keep it short and simple. The lecturer didn't even say much about his "content", instead he showed it to the audiences through several prepared performances and "situations".
The lecturer put it out straightly that a lecturer, no matter one on stage of TED or other occassions, should be fully prepared in both the body and mind. For any unexpected situations could just pop up and ruin everything you have endeavored in making perfect for the past few weeks. The best resolution is to go with the flow, as long as the impromptu doesn't really ruin your speech. Dance with the crowd and laugh if you have to, just remember to pull the audiences' attention back to your topic in the final.
I like, very much of this kind of lecturers, where the lecturer really show it to us in action, instead of just blah blah blah and talking about it in words and through powerpoints. No wonder the crowd beneath the stage went wild! I suppose that none of them have ever encountered this kind of situation in a TED lecture. And I'm pretty sure that this kind of lecturing or what you call performing, is going to rage a new trend.
