APAC Study Day 2025

APAC - Association of Performing Arts Collections (UK and Ireland)

Join us for the Association of Performing Arts Collections' Annual Study Day hosted by LADA

Live Art Development Agency - LADA

<h3>Live art collections: activating archives and developing artistic research practice</h3> The 2025 <a href="https://performingartscollections.org.uk/" title="https://performingartscollections.org.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">APAC</a> Study Day will explore live art archives to discuss how these collections can be activated and their discoverability improved, along with how artists develop and embed research in their artistic practice. We will hear from artists working within live art and interdisciplinary performance practice, who have worked with LADA’s collections, as well as APAC members who collect and care for live art archives and make them available for research and inspiration. We are keen to encourage members to attend who research live art or hold live art and/or interdisciplinary performance practice as part of their collections, as we hope this study day will be a springboard for an APAC working group focusing on live art collections, so we can meet to discuss shared opportunities and challenges. The study day will take place at the Live Art Development Agency.
