WHAT IS 12 MINUTES MAX?
12 Minutes Max is a slightly more laid-back performance for new and experimental works performed at Hamilton Studio in Spokane WA on Wednesday, April 15th, 2026.

​

12 Minutes Max was first developed by On the Boards in 1981. In this series, artists present 12 minutes of material, while audiences get an opportunity to be the first to see works-in-progress, some of which will go on to become full-length pieces. 12 Minutes Max has inspired similar programs in Vancouver, B.C., Bellingham, Salt Lake City, Chicago, and Houston. Works presented can range from performance art to dance, from experimental theater to music, from spoken word to comedy, and more.

​
