During a dim performance (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amid

'during' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a dim performance' is the wordplay.
'performance' indicates an anagram.
'dim' with letters rearranged gives 'mid'.
'a'+'mid'='AMID'

(Other definitions for amid that I've seen before include "In the course of" , "'See . . . . the winter's snow' (carol)" , "Among" , "Maid (anag)" , "Amongst" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
