Action produced by each class being given the cane, perhaps (11)
I believe the answer is:
performance
'action' is the definition.
(I know that performance is a type of action)
'each class being given the cane perhaps' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'per' ('per' can mean for each).
'class' becomes 'form' (form class is a kind of class).
'being given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'cane' with letters rearranged gives 'ance'.
'per'+'form'+'ance'='PERFORMANCE'
'produced by' is the link.
(Other definitions for performance that I've seen before include "Rendition" , "What actor gives in role" , "operation" , "The giving of a play or concert" , "Particular action" .)
