Performance Review
Run of Show: August 29/30, 2026 · Production window Jun 30 to Sep 5, 2026
Performance Review is a daytime event staged inside the language of a corporate performance review. Workshops and panels fill the roof in daylight, then a techno party takes the basement after dark. The building is the format: WHITEBOX up top, BLACKBOX below, and you descend from one to the other. Noon to 10, then the zoning cuts it. Co-presented by Artifice NYC and the Office of Applied Strategy, with Never Alone and Untitled.
01 · The Day
NOON TO 10PM
A daytime run inside a five-story building. Workshops on the roof feed a live visual system on the floor below, and the whole thing descends into the basement after dark.
Afternoon · Descent
Feedback loop
Prompts drop from the roof to the floor, where a live visual system turns them into the room's imagery.
After dark · Basement / BLACKBOX
The party
Three sets, one headliner and two supports. Dancing as embodied strategy.
10pm · Cutoff
On the record
Zoning hard stop. One editor in the room, a recap after, one record kept in the Index.
02 · Phases
FOUR PHASES
Setup, Build, Promote, Produce. The date is the gate: Untitled holds Aug 29/30 and everything waits on that yes. Announce by July 31 with the first poster; the alcohol permit needs a call 45 days out.
03 · Calendar
JUN – SEP '26
The same four phases laid on the month grid. Stripes stack where phases overlap; gold marks the gates. Kickoff Jun 30, event Aug 29/30.
