Do It Together 2026
19 partners have selected 10 peer-to-peer Do It Together (DIT) projects to take place across the country from April – September, igniting a nation-wide network for process-led experimental practice.
Each DIT project has been designed by different artists. From creative labs, movement workshops, silent retreats and trips to the casino and back, the artists have created co-learning frameworks to inform and inspire other artists’ practices as well as their own, connect and try things out together.
Through an open application process, the lead artists are now looking to gather between 5-15 artists to join them in a collective enquiry, supported by local partners. Whatever form they take, the DIT projects offer alternative approaches to professional development through the perspectives, desires and methodologies of artists rather than institutions.
Knowing that the development of Live Art practice is as much about embodied experiences as training in skills and techniques, the DIT programme is an invitation to share the process.
DIT is a reactivation of LADA’s flagship programme DIY, which ran unique professional development projects by artists for artists from 2002 to 2020.

In March 2025 we welcomed Samra Mayanja, Claudia Palazzo and Symoné as Artists in Residence.
As part of the residency, the artists have been supported by LADA to develop peer-to-peer artist networks through open calls, which led to the Live Art and Gaming Network and the Stock Check peer-to-peer development group.
