DiverseWorks is excited to present a new edition of 12 Minutes Max on May 15 and 16, 2025, organized by the DiverseWorks Artist Advisory Committee at the historic DeLUXE Theater in Fifth Ward.
A short-form performance showcase for new and in-progress works up to twelve minutes long, 12 Minutes Max: ESP is presented over two evenings with a unique line-up each night (see the full schedule below). Lead artists are: Aveda Adara, Mashal Awais, Emilio Carrera, Shelby Craze, Eli Greene, Loren Holmes, Koomah, Alexandra Lechin, Adele Nickel, Corey De’Juan Sherrard Jr., Jadd Tank, and Isabella Mireles Vik.
The theme of this festival revolves around the initials ESP. Whether you interpret it as experimental short performances, extrasensory perception, extra saucy pasta, every sexy person, or simply enjoy something performative—it’s up to you. We are not defining ‘experimental’ in any particular way. Let the experiment be whatever you believe it means today. There are no parameters for artists in this one-of-a-kind program.
