August 2016 (22:52)
Episode one of the Live Art UK podcast is about festivals: Live Art festivals, Live Art within festivals, and how artist-led initiatives are reshaping festival economics.
In it, we talk to Andy Field, Co-Director of Forest Fringe, on ten years as a radical alternative to the Edinburgh milieu; Brian Lobel, founder of The Sick Of The Fringe, on making creative links within a broader programme; Lois Keidan, Co-Director of the Live Art Development Agency, on how performance festivals have grown and multiplied over 30+ years; Clive Lyttle, Director of Certain Blacks, on festivals’ ability to showcase underrepresented artists and artforms; Aaron Wright, Artistic Director of Fierce, on the potential of Live Art to bridge the underground and mainstream; and Rosana Cade, Co-Director of BUZZCUT, on their evolving relationship with the artistic community in Glasgow.
