Everything You Wanted To Know About Live Art events will include an introduction to the Live Art sector, a sense of how things work, practical information about what's on offer, and opportunities to access guidance, advice and expertise from experienced artists. The events might cover issues ranging from how to approach research and training, how to network, how to make a successful collaboration, how to market and promote your work, how to develop practices within a range of different contexts and sites, how to think about documentation, how to work across platforms and media, how to stay 'in touch', how to be 'in control', how to sustain a practice over many years, and how to survive as an artist.
