*Definitions
New Work: live art, contemporary performance, video/time-based arts, sound-art/experimental music, cross-disciplinary practices.
Live Art: ‘Whether challenging orthodoxies of fine art practice, exploring the limits of theatricality, appropriating the idioms of mass culture, pushing at the boundaries of choreographic conventions or exploring the performativity of cyberspaces, Live Art practices occupy all kinds of mediums in a volatile state’. From Fluid Landscapes in Live Culture at Tate Modern Catalogue, Live Art Development Agency 2003
