*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
