This is a wiki: members can edit it to coordinate the organization of a boiler room party the evening before the official program, to welcome people and create an informal atmosphere with music, food and drinks.

Rules
All guests are asked to take part in this event in accordance with the rules of the Performance Caldarium Night (adapted from Performance Art Forum (PAF)).
-
Don’t leave traces
Clean behind you in order to leave every square centimeter -that is not your private room- all the time available for everybody when you are not using it. Traces are unwanted or uninvited marks (material or immaterial) left in the space or in others.
-
Make it possible for others
Think of this as an opportunity to open up space(s) by showing a rehearsal or a movie, giving a lecture, starting a discussion, cleaning a corridor, or helping somebody.
-
The do-er decides
But not alone! Things are decided by the ones who do, more than the ones who talk. However, the opportunity to do is not without limits and action should be taken in consideration with others.
-
Mind asymmetries
PAF is made of asymmetries. People come from different places, inhabit different bodies, have different experiences, are situated differently in power structures and have different boundaries. Take this into account, challenge your own position and let it be challenged, while respecting other people’s boundaries.
- This fourth rule is described in more detail because it is probably the most difficult.
Think those rules as interrelated.
Performance Caldarium Night (adapted from Performance Art Forum (PAF)) aspires to be a space where intersectional, anti-racist and feminist analysis inform practice. Sexism, racism, classism, LGBTQ+phobia, ableism, ageism and any other form of discrimination or aggression are not tolerated. Performance Caldarium Night fosters a practice of collective accountability and considers it everybody’s responsibility. More info, guidelines and resources are available here.
As said before Performance Caldarium Night is a place for meeting. Caldarium offers shared spaces for activities or groups that organise themselves autonomously and with as few forms of domination or power as possible. Activities are voluntary, based on reciprocity and without exclusion criteria.
The aim will be to oppose alienation with a focus on deconstructing concepts such as labor, paid work and money.
Furthermore, because of the presence of animals who have their habitat in Performance Caldarium Night as well as the constraints of the garden and the hygiene of the rooms, we would prefer not to have people bringing their pets to Performance Caldarium Night, nonetheless if they are indispensable companions for you then again please contact us to clarify an agreed upon organisation.
Performance Caldarium Night’s relationship with the village a balance to preserve and maintain. Careful and positive relations with the villagers are necessary for its existence. Please avoid loud noises in the night in the garden or the building.
We wish you a fruitful time in Performance Caldarium Night’.
