RADICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PERFORMANCE PLATFORM

"PROVOCATION IS NOT THE POINT"
Interpretations of "experimental" and "radical" vary widely. For us, it's about being genuine and personal. Others see it differently, and we embrace the diversity and sometimes contradictions in responses. However, it's essential to emphasize that there are no set expectations here. Your work doesn't need to be provocative, contemporary, or feminist. Nothing is obligatory! We're interested in your voice, your perspective, your world, your aesthetics, your interpretation. Something authentic that isn't driven by trends or forced provocation.

"NO AWKWARD, NO SHIT"
It's a truth rarely spoken publicly, but nearly everyone secretly agrees: contemporary art can be mind-numbingly dull. Why? Because it often lacks risk and stakes. Courage requires a supportive environment, one where you feel safe to explore personal issues, experiment freely, and defy aesthetic and conceptual norms. Unfortunately, much of what we see today is sterile, conformist, and uninspiring—a symptom of an arts education system that prioritizes uniformity over diversity. Our Performance Platform aims to be different—a space free from expectations or judgment, where anything goes, and everyone can be themselves.

"EXPERIMENTATION"
True experimentation is diving into the unknown. It's starting something without a clue where it'll lead, using tools you're not familiar with, and embracing the unpredictable. You're not seeking beauty or effectiveness; you're venturing into uncharted territory. It's risky, filled with failures, but also with wonder and surprises.
For our Experimental & Radical Performance Platform, bring your doubts, uncertainties, and creative crises. Embrace the journey, and clarity will follow!

"CONTEMPORARY FORMALISM"
"Contemporary" isn't a rulebook—it's about breaking free from expectations. Don't conform to trends or seek validation. Trust yourself, your instincts, and your vision. Don't let anyone put you in a box or dictate your art. Bring YOUR art to this Platform—raw, honest, and unapologetically you. It's not about concepts or academic jargon—it's about YOU and your expression. That's what truly matters.

"SUSTAINABLE ART"
In an industry plagued by overproduction and overconsumption, our profession mirrors the excesses of any market. Projects proliferate due to systems prioritizing their creation over presentation and dissemination. Yet, there's a scarcity of exhibition space, audiences, and attention. Our Performance Platform aims to tackle these issues head-on: How can we rethink the intense production characteristic of the arts sector? Is "sustainable art" achievable, and what defines sustainability in a project? How can the performing arts become more conscious and responsible, and who should drive this change? What strategies are needed to rebalance the skewed relationship between supply and demand, and how can we reach a 'market equilibrium'?

"WORKING TOGETHER INSTEAD OF COMPETING"
We're not adversaries; we're allies! Collaboration, community, solidarity—these are our guiding principles. The world and our profession can be harsh, but they're also incredibly rewarding. Believe in yourself and your work; don't let others dim your enthusiasm or control your path. Stay true to yourself, and don't get swayed by distractions. With this Experimental and Radical Performance Platform, we emphasize listening, supporting, and uplifting each other. Let's unite, stick together, and build a strong community!
