*Nine things to know about max10*

1. max10 Performance Laboratory is a place to do
brave work, experiment and risk failure.
2. max10 is an uncurated performance event the first Monday of every month.
3. max10 is a place where new artists can show
early work, and more established artists can work
outside their genre.
4. The event is called max10 because each piece
can be no longer than 10 minutes, and there will
be no more than ten performers a night.
5. After ten minutes of performance a bell will
sound and the lights will go off - we mean it,
really - 600 seconds and out (yes, even if you're
still singing/talking/dancing)!
6. While we would love you (or someone else) to
write about max10 - we respectfully ask you not
to review individual pieces. We don't want the
artists to censor their ideas because they are
worried about a "bad" review. We want this to be
a true performance laboratory.
7. After the performance you are invited to a
reception (cheap beer, wine, and chips are
included in the price of admission) where you can
talk to the artists about the work you've just
seen. Pick three artists to talk to, tell them
what let you into their work and what kept you
out.
8. All genres of work are welcome - dance,
performance art, music, visual arts,
installations, film, slide shows, spoken word,
martial arts demonstrations, performative papers,
whateverŠ
9. If you want to perform at max10 write to: ma...@electriclodge.org.
