Context: Solo artists

You are central to the process of development
You are ‘in’ the work

Is this for me? What do you mean by Contemporary Performance?
The term Contemporary Performance is used to describe: hybrid performance works and artists that travel between the fields of
Experimental Theatre & Dance, Video Art, Visual Art, Music Composition and Performance Art without adhering to one specific field’s practice.
(Contemporary Performance Network) Other forms of practice might be described as:
Live Art- Site-specific/site based performance – Acktions -Body Art - Performance Writing - Devised Theatre - Digital/mediated/multimedia Performance/Net Art - Walking Practice - Feminist performance – One-to-One - Environmental Performance - Political/Activist performance - Sound Art - Durational Performance - Street Art – Script Based - Score
based work – contemporary dance/movement – Physical Theatre – Socially engaged – Participatory - Interactive - autobiographical –
Performance/sound installation etc

Why is it a Forum?
• Forum - a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
• a place of assembly for the people.
• an assembly, meeting place for the discussion of questions of ’public’ interest.
