I totally understand and have been conflicted about whether to focus more on performance or also to give shyer people a way to do something much less performance-y and more "do a lot of painstaking visual work ahead of time and then display it at the con". I decided on the latter.
I've altered the CfP to explain that visual art is welcome, e.g.,
We are seeking many types of creative work, such as music/dance performances and visual art such as paintings, but expect the main body of the event to consist of short one-act plays about the experience of programming, running from five to twenty minutes in length, plus a short visual art showcase presentation where the artists will briefly display and discuss their work.
So now I believe the revision is complete. Thank you for talking about it with me and thanks for publicizing Erty's blog post! If you could get the !!Con Twitter account to RT you that would be LOVELY.
