Steering
Group Members
The workshop steering group co-ordinates,
hosts and curates the research activity represented in the
workshop series. Its
members’ interests and approaches are informed by a wide
range of experience in the field of live art and performance,
including archival, critical, curatorial and practice based
approaches.
Group members also live and work across the British
Isles and have an interest in the specificity of their own
locale and the dialogues and commonalities that have emerged
through the workshops.
Group members have participated in all workshop – details
about other workshop participants, several of whom have contributed
to more than one workshop, can be found on the participants page,
along with sample papers and contributions.
