Talks for Higher Education

The Live Art Development Agency offers programmes of lectures, talks and workshops to Higher Education Institutions at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The programmes utilise the experience and expertise of the Agency's staff and its extensive resources to deliver engaging and thought provoking sessions tailored to different levels of student development. Sessions are suitable for students in visual art, cultural studies, and theatre and performance studies contexts.

Lectures and talks can be presented to small groups in the Agency’s Study Room research facility or at HEIs.

The cost of sessions is negotiable and varies depending on requirements. HEIs are expected to cover travel expenses. Income from lectures, talks and workshops is used to support and expand the research resources of the Agency.

All lectures, talks and workshops can be adapted to specific course needs.

Lectures, talks and workshops can cover the following subjects:
• An Introduction to Live Art.
• An Introduction to the Live Art Development Agency and its Study Room.
• Curatorial Strategies and Cultural Policies.
• Becoming a Live Artist.

The Live Art Development Agency also holds consultation sessions with lecturers in Higher Education. The aim of these sessions is to look at a range of issues in relation to teaching structures, the culture of departments and the possibilities for cultural exchange with curators and performance and live artists in the sector. Topics for discussion can include course plans and resources for teaching, emergent artists and their relation to course thematics, artists and curators as guest lecturers, participation in platforms, practical support for graduated and emergent artists within university contexts. These are two-way exchanges in which the Agency learns how Live Art practices are being perceived and taught in HE and lecturers gain possibilities for further connection with Live Art practice.
