Poet's performance (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treading

(Other definitions for treading that I've seen before include "Crushing (grapes) by foot" , "Stepping around red giant" , "walking" , "Pressing the foot down, on grapes say" , "Taking steps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
