Wed 10 - Fri 12 March: Into The New 10

Sat 13 March: Symposium - Changing Performance/Performing Change

Part of the New Territories 10 International Festival of Live Art, this exciting four day event comprises performances, workshops, discussions and talks and is an opportunity to be invigorated, inspired and promote growth in the field of new work.

The events aim to be practice-based encounters that facilitate conversation, sharing and the opportunity to consider how we might change performance and perform change.

The symposium will address the potential of experimental performance to affect social, personal, cultural and environmental change. How can performance catalyse conflict into understanding? Does radical performance have the ability to heal? What are the implications of choosing to work in non-conventional and even dangerous contexts? How can the artist's body affect transformation in others?
