Claudia Palazzo – Artist in Residence
- Year
- 2025
In March 2025 we welcomed Claudia Palazzo as Artists in Residence, alongside Samra Mayanja and Symoné.
As part of the residency, the three artists were invited to develop alternative peer-to-peer gatherings in relation to their own on-going research and practice. They explored ideas and methodologies in dialogue with other makers and thinkers, the LADA team and materials in the Live Art Research Collection. Through an open call Claudia brought together Stock Check, a group of eight artists from a diverse mix of disciplines and backgrounds.
Stock Check
Selected through an open call, eight artists met over four evening gatherings at The Garrett Centre from July to October. They each took turns to share practice and discussed their work together over a home-cooked dinner.
As a group of artists, operating within the multiplicities of Live Art they found a shared acceptance of the unknown, and a willingness to work out the pertinent, practical questions of sharing together. How do we communicate across and in between art forms, language barriers and cultural norms? How do we as artists and near strangers navigate politeness, politics, and truthful feedback? What is the relationship between censorship and honesty?
They found, through their differences, that common thematic threads emerged such as questions of what is my inheritance? And how does capitalism shape my perception of time?

Claudia Palazzo
Claudia Palazzo is a London born artist working at the intersections and contradictions of dance, performance art, installation and alternative cabaret. Often poetic, unmanageable, meditative and violent in its structure. Influenced by roots in club culture, inner-city structures and psychophysical training.Her work often exists in a place of tension using the interplay between inherent strength and the impact of damage.Claudia is currently looking for things to represent her dancing body in her absence and wonders how we can challenge ableist ideals of mobility without succumbing to soft control that is disguised as care.
