Hello from the fresh face of Live Art Bookshop!

It’s time for a new chapter in our story and with it, a new name. We’ll still be supplying you with titles you love, exploring the full unruly scope of interdisciplinary live and performance practices.

Whether you’re a researcher looking for alternative histories, an artist looking for others who do a thing kind of like what you do, or a supporter of independent bookshops – we have a book for you!

Whilst our new name pretty much ‘does what it says on the tin’ – we don’t just do books. You can still find artist zines, limited edition prints and more!

Read a blog from LADA Director Mary Osborn on the decision behind the name change at the link in our bio.

LAB is evolving! We’ve also made some updates on the Live Art Bookshop website. If you notice any problems please contact shop@thisisliveart.co.uk.

Sign up to the LAB newsletter today to receive 10% off, and be the first to hear about our seasonal offers and curated titles.

The Syllabus partners – Wysing Arts Centre, Eastside Projects, PS², Site Gallery and Studio Voltaire (associate partner) – are thrilled to announce Live Art Development Agency (LADA) will join the Syllabus network for the ninth edition of the programme.

🎉🎉🎉

Syllabus is an alternative and independent learning programme supporting ten artists across ten months through collective learning, critical exchange, and community-building. Now entering its ninth year, the programme continues to evolve collaboratively in response to each cohort of artists.

LADA’s longstanding commitment to experimental practice, live art, and artist-centred development will bring valuable perspectives and conversations to the programme.

Mary Osborn, Director of LADA said:

“We are super excited to be part of this one-of-a-kind learning programme. This is an incredible opportunity for LADA to meet a cohort of artists working with a rich diversity of forms and disciplines, and to offer a focus on liveness and embodied practice as part of the gatherings. Thank you to the brilliant Syllabus partners for inviting us into the fold - we can’t wait to get started!”

Together, the partner organisations will host a series of in-person gatherings and online sessions. Led by Syllabus IX Artist Lead Harun Morrison, this year’s programme kicks off in September and rolls out across the year.

💖 Thanks to Live & Digital Assistant Lex Correia (@lexcorreiaa)

This year we’ve had the pleasure of hosting student placements from Ithaca College London (@iclondoncenter), RCSSD and NYU (@nyutisch). Each one has joined the team with fresh perspectives and an enthusiasm to learn. We’ve appreciated being challenged on how and why we do things in certain ways. This curiosity has led us to new articulations of our work and upgrades on everything from our Study Room booking system to our methods of evaluation. It has truly been a joy to work alongside each of them and we can’t wait to see what they do next!

Head to the link in bio to read about their experiences. If you are part of a higher education institution looking for student placements, get in touch!

How and when do you bring others into your practice? How do you support your peers? How do you give and receive feedback?

Across two events this summer we’re thinking about the role of peer-to-peer critique in communities of practice.

PERFORMANCE CRITS: An Evening of Art School Performance re-imagines the art school critique, with contributions from artists and researchers, as part of a partnership with Central Saint Martins. (@fine_art_csm @csm_news)

Claudia Palazzo (@claudiapalazzo) and the Stock Check artists will be presenting activations, performance extracts and reflections from their time as a peer-to-peer development group. The group includes Ngo Chun Tse (@phoenixchunzz), Mark Farid (@morkforid), Lydia Newman (@Ladedum), Pianka Pärna (@Piamperformance_), Josh Philpott (@_joshphilpott_ ), Shuwen Tan (@shuwent_ ) and Angel Zinovieff (@angelchiron).

Join us in welcoming three new extraordinary Trustees to our Board!

Gabriela Román González, Jon Opie and Julian Warren. Together, their experience spans fundraising, archives, artist development and international curation, offering vital expertise and fresh perspectives to support the development of our work.

Gabriela Román González (she/her) is a curator and cultural strategist working with a practice centred on contemporary and process-led art, audience engagement, and more porous models of exhibition-making across disciplines.

Jon Opie (he/him) is Head of Artist Support for Acme, and previously Deputy Director of Jerwood Arts, where he led on bursaries and fellowships, centring artists’ needs and inclusive practices.

Julian Warren (he/him) is an archivist based in Bristol, committed to the long-term preservation of documents of live art and performance so they can remain accessible to everyone who may like to encounter them, now and in the future.

As we welcome new members, we will soon announce a call-out for a second Co-Chair to join Cat Sheridan in the co-leadership of our Board, after Robin Deacon steps down in July.

🗞️ Dispatch from Studio Somewhere: Do It Together edition!

As part of @thisisliveart’s Do It Together (DIT) project, we collaborated with @glasgowbuzzcut to host Gillie Kleiman’s project Disciplined.

As part of the project, Gillie and a cohort worked together over BUZZCUT festival - they dug into the assumptions around Discipline: with conversation, hands-on experimentation and spending time with the amazing BUZZCUT programme together.

Gratitude to everyone who brought their (undisciplined!) thinking, honesty and generosity to the project.

We’re working with Artist & Organiser Sophie Chapman to make a Live Art Map of London - past, present & future.

This follows on from the State of Live Art in London event as part of @whitechapelgallery London Open Live in July 2025, where we invited audiences to map live art interventions in the city.

We want to hear from you about the performances, collectives, venues, courses, nights, events, spaces, groups, workshops that have shaped live art in London. The ones that have long gone, the ones still thriving, and the ones you feel are missing and are yet to be born.

Comment below or if you prefer to be more discreet email info@thisisliveart.co.uk

We are delighted to announce Sally Rose as the new Deputy Director of Live Art Development Agency.

‘I am thrilled to join LADA as Deputy Director and to collaborate with Mary and the team. I look forward to bringing an enquiring and collaborative approach to support the development of LADA’s values, community and vision. LADA provided formative support to my understanding of artistic practice and sense of belonging in our ecosystem, so providing a foundation for the next phase of LADA’s own journey is incredibly meaningful to me.’
Sally Rose

‘I’m so excited to welcome Sally to LADA. Sally is passionate about transforming creative possibility into practical reality; she cares deeply about supporting artists and organisations to take risks with intention and integrity. Sally brings years of experience working across the Live Art ecology. I can’t wait to take our next steps with Sally.’
Mary Osborn, Director

Sally Rose has spent 17 years specialising in development: of ideas, projects, resources, producing and fundraising, often crossing boundaries and genres, always valuing equity, collaboration, experimentation and sustainability. Sally has worked with SPILL Festival, Marlborough Productions, BLM Fest, Duckie, and CONTINUOUS Network, as well as artists Sheila Ghelani, Abigail Conway and Rosana Cade. Sally co-founded Producer Gathering with Xavier de Sousa, initially established through a residency at LADA in 2014.

Sally will be with us from June.
