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.

12pm · Roof / WHITEBOX

Workshop

Speculative foresight in daylight. Participants generate the prompts that feed the night.

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 · Space GROUND + 2ND FLOOR

The building is the format. WHITEBOX up top, a lab on the 2nd-floor terrace in daylight; BLACKBOX below, the raw 10,000 SF basement as the main dance floor. You descend from one to the other.
