Performance Klub

Performance Klub

Based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Performance Klub organises a number of international performance festivals each year. Performance Klub uses these festivals to bring attention, analysis and support to social, economic, environmental and political issues affecting communities in Indonesia, and by default the rest of the world.

The organisation’s main festival, Perfurbance, is held in a different rural location every year where specific issues are identified and discussed with the local community. The festival is then used to gain media attention and resources to run workshops and educational services for the local community during the festival and to manage projects with the community for 6 to 12 months after the event. These projects involve recycling and rubbish separation, identifying and planting alternative crops, water preservation and educational services for the community.
