Live art, an artistic discipline that “defies all definition”, is experiencing a remarkable renewal, it is, however, still little known to the world at large. To bridge this gap and strengthen the position of new forms of live art in Europe, eight cultural structures have come together as partners in a five-year European project entitled “A space for live art”.
Through each partner’s programming and the different forms of exchange – co-productions, dissemination, residences, international symposia – the diversity of the artistic approaches will be highlighted.
Meetings on theory and practice, the constitution of a critical corpus written by professionals and documentation of projects in sound and/or images will strengthen the reflexive and documentary aspect of live art. There will also be room for mediation and transmission, through an infiltration of the public area and a teaching strand, in particular in art schools where young talent will be encouraged.
