Joined by a selection of speakers who are active in the production of liveart, the debate will explore the past, present and future role of live art in the public realm. The debate will use the following question as a starting point for discussion:‘Live art asks us what it means to be here, now’*When live art is presented in a public environment to an unsuspecting audience, does it alienate or empower the people and places it seeks to engage?*’ Live Art UK Vision Paper Supported by Arts Council England
