For those who enjoy expressing themselves publicly, there is one place that not only opens its stage, but also lends you insights about how you performed. Barefoot Collective 8@8 event gives performance artists eight minutes to showcase their work before an audience. An audience feedback session follows the performance where the comments from the audience can sometimes be tough to hear.
