Fragility, Festivals, Funding and other F- Words in Live Art

Amidst arts funding cuts, venue closures and a cost-of-living crisis, it has rarely felt more daunting or less sustainable to make and present work. In response to this new era of precarity, Peopling The Palace(s) invite you to come together for a day of discussion, care and performance with and about the Live Art community - academics, producers, programmers and artists, both emerging and established.

A Long Table on the headline topic will be followed by break out gatherings hosted by festival artists,directors, curators and friends. Some people who have agreed to come to the table already are: Selena Thompson (Artist) Benjamin Sebastian (]performance s p a c e [), Joseph Morgan Schofield (FUTURERITUAL), Karl Taylor (BUZZCUT), Lois Keidan (LADA co-founder),Robin Deacon (SPILL), Helen Cole (IBT), and Katy Baird (Home Live Art). Come join them.

Food will be available to purchase at the Care Café, and the day will culminate in a presentation of TransMission: Sissy TV by Nando Messias and ASCENSION, a new performance experience by internationally renowned artist Shaun Caton. Tickets for these performances must be booked separately.
