Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses and analyses what happens to the evaluation of quality in

performing arts for children when we move from the notion of art as an object to art as an event. Erika

Fischer-Lichte´s theory on the so-called performative turn in the arts and more specifically, the term

feedback loop, constitute the article´s theoretical backdrop. Two audience-related episodes, the dance

performance BZzBZz-DADA dA bee by ICB Productions (3–6 year olds) and the theatre performance

Thought Lab by Cirka Teater (for 6-year-olds and above), serve as starting points for the theoretical

discussion. By adopting Siemke Böhnisch’s performative approach to theatre analysis, focusing on the

terms directed-ness2 and contact in relation to the audience, the writer seeks to show a dissonance (and

its reverse) between the performers and the audience in the two respective performances. The term

dissonance describes moments of unintended breaks in communication, moments of which the

performers are most likely unaware. These moments, however, become apparent when the audience´s

reactions are included in the analysis, and we become almost obliged to consider the child audience as

qualified judges of quality, as opposed to allowing ourselves to dismiss their interactions as either noise or

enthusiasm.
