Abstract
Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space 2023 PQ Talks: Acts of Assembly: Projects from the Performance Space Exhibition The Performance Space Exhibition at PQ 2023 provides a forum for reconsidering how theatres and performance spaces operate as acts of assembly and sites for community. Four selected projects will be presented, offering insights into diverse venues. This panel offers insights into four selected projects from the Performance Space Exhibition. It explores how contemporary theatres and performance spaces facilitate different acts of assembly and operate as sites for communal action and cultural production. The four selected projects are: the re-building of the Australian experimental theatre, La Mama, after it was gutted by fire in 2018; a new performing arts centre for the International School of Uganda in Kampala; AGORA, a temporary meeting place for an assembly of active citizens built at the 2019 National Eisteddfod in Llanrwst, Wales; and, this space is for you / cet espace est pour toi, a site-responsive XR installation and conceptual site for considering ‘refugia’ and spatial reorientations of performing place.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
