Support for Higher Education
The Live Art Development Agency supports the development of Live Art in Higher Education by encouraging relationships between institutions and practising artists; offering talks, information and research materials to students and scholars; providing access to Live Art resources; and supporting the professional development of students and graduates.
The Live Art Development Agency offers a programme of Talks to Higher Education Institutions at both undergraduate and postgraduate level that are suitable for students in visual art, cultural studies, and theatre and performance studies contexts.
The Live Art Development Agency offers consultation sessions with lecturers in Higher Education on a range of issues in relation to teaching structures, the culture of departments and the possibilities for cultural exchange with curators and artists in the sector.
The Agency’s Study Room is a free, open access research facility which houses one of the largest publicly accessible libraries of Live Art related dvds, videos and publications in the UK and is regularly used by students, scholars, and lecturers.
Unbound is an online shop selling books, dvds, cds, videos and artworks related to Live Art, performance and interdisciplinary art practice, including key texts, hard-to-find artists’ books, and limited editions.
The Live Art Development Agency collaborates with Queen Mary, University of London on the annual East End Collaborations programme which offers a range of support structures for graduates and emerging artists based in London.
The Agency runs an informal Live Art in Higher Education E-Forum for use by tutors, course leaders and scholars whose work, directly, or indirectly, relates to Live Art practice. If you would like to join the E-Forum please send an email to info@thisisLiveArt.co.uk and put 'HE Forum' in the subject line.
