Kiss Club is a performance club for the intrepid experimental performance maker. All participants are given 10 minutes to experiment, perform, talk, wrangle or crash test their up and coming works and receive direct feedback from their audience. Curated & hosted by pvi collective, each evening gives a fast and furious insight into what’s bubbling in the hearts and minds of Perth’s experimental performance makers.
Who Should Apply:
