How I may see our universe, acknowledging its infinitude as I dance, is my survival.
— Deborah Hay

The Performance Club operates on the belief that live performance is a catalyst for audiences and performers. At Kaatsbaan, Deborah Hay has 20 minutes to experience a work-in-progress in the presence of the audience. As an audience member, you have 40 minutes to process any reciprocal responses to the live event you just experienced. By providing time for audiences to witness a live performance and immediately process the performance individually, in their own way—through writing, drawing, dancing, resting, meditating, etc.—unforeseen insights arise.

The Performance Club is not about critique, and no one imposes their exploration on anyone else. It is a community experiment that provides audiences and performers the opportunity to notice how they influence and inspire one another.
