Live Art Flatpack and In Residence Components
The Performance Pack
The Performance Pack is a performance enabler, an educational resource and a limited edition artwork. The Performance Pack takes the form of entertaining illustrated lecture about performance, and especially the relationship between performance and fine art. It comes as a pre-packed performance lecture kit containing everything you need including script, audio-visual material, props and suggestions for staging. Commissioned by the Live Art Development Agency and Tate Modern, and conceived and created by Joshua Sofaer. Click here for more information about the Performance Pack.
Illustrated Lectures
The Live Art Development Agency offers a programme of Illustrated Lectures including an introduction to the concept and practice of Live Art, an overview of Live Art activities in the UK, and ways of being, and surviving, as a Live Artist. The Lectures draw on the extensive visual resources of the Agency’s archives and Study Room to provide engaging and thought provoking sessions tailored to different contexts and constituencies.
The Lectures are aimed at general audiences interested in contemporary art and more specialist artists, curators and higher education institutions.
Screening Programmes
Drawing on the Agency’s Study Room resources and documentation of its many projects, the Live Art Development Agency offers a diverse range of screening programmes of contemporary Live Art practices for presentation as exhibitions or as theatrical screenings within international festivals and events.
The screening programmes are curated and compiled in close collaboration with host partners and are tailored to respond to their artistic aspirations and curatorial approaches.
DIY
DIY is a scheme that provides opportunities for artists working in Live Art to conceive and run short professional development projects for other artists, especially idiosyncratic projects that are geared to the eclectic and often unusual needs of artists whose practices are grounded in unconventional approaches, forms and concepts.
DIY projects to date have covered practical and conceptual issues and involved city centre adventures; rural retreats about art and activism; new approaches to networking, collaboration and documentation; considerations of costume in performance; experiments on the impact of time in art; skills swap shops; live and wireless video; considerations of risk in performance; dialogues around self and performance; reinvigorating the creative spirit; and camping trips.
Everything You Wanted To Know about Live Art But Were Afraid To Ask
Everything You Wanted To Know About Live Art But Were Afraid To Ask is a day of information and advice about Live Art aimed at recent graduates, emergent artists, and anybody who is interested in finding out more about Live Art.
Everything days include an introduction to the Live Art sector, a sense of how things work, practical information about what's on offer, and opportunities to access guidance, advice, and expertise through presentations by experienced artists.
Franko B once said of Everything days “I wish there’d been something like this when I left college”.
One on one artist’s surgeries
The Live Art Development Agency can provide a service for both emergent and established artists working with Live Art by offering practical and/or conceptual information and advice about Live Art projects and issues through individually tailored meetings.
A selection of publications and dvds from the Agency’s Study Room.
The Live Art Development Agency’s Study Room is a free, open access research facility housing one of the largest publicly accessible libraries of Live Art related videos, dvds and publications in the UK. The Study Room is used by artists, students, curators, academics, and other arts professionals to view artist’s work, read publications, and undertake research projects.
