Performance Research Network: watch 3 roundtable discussions now

Discussions explore thought-leadership, artistic practice, live events and more
The aim of the Performance Research Network is to further the discourse around how performance practices are presented and sustainably supported.
Initiated by Block Universe in partnership with founding members Glasgow International and Liverpool Biennial, it is a curatorial-led and process-oriented research network, with Art Fund support.
It aims to advance thought leadership in the field, with a view to exploring models of co-commissioning performance and live events, and sustainably supporting artistic practice in partnership with artists and other stakeholders.
