WHAT IS LIVE ART SPEED DATE?

Live Art Speed Date is an exploration and celebration of intimate exchange between Artist and Audience. A diverse selection of innovative performance artists are invited to create and present a four minute one-on-one performance or "date". The audience make their own journey through the dates, with opportunities to interact with each other and walkabout artists. This carefully curated event explores public and private behaviors creating a vibrant fairground of fragmented experiences, pushing the notion of interactive performance and audience/performer collaboration.

"Live Art Speed Date crystallizes a movement in contemporary British performance - a free-wheeling, wide ranging bashing down of boundaries between forms and practices, a celebration of us all as both artists and audience." - Tim Crouch
