Festival of Live Art Returns For 2016

A collaborative festival between Arts House, Theatre Works and Footscray Community Arts Centre, for 13 days over 50 surprising, participatory and interactive art experiences will captivate Melbourne.

There’s a work for 16 iPads, a phone App for a walking event with two people, a crocheted and knitted installation, a traditional and virtual tea room, ‘erotic dance’, an invitation to undress and confess in a sound-proof booth, a smartphone procedural thriller, a series of performances on a podium, one on one encounters in hotel rooms, the launch of a new fragrance with a complimentary dog wash, a complete smut auction and a contemporary art exchange between Yogyakarta and Footscray Community Arts Centre. That’s just the beginning.

Local and international artists who have created work in the 2016 program include Tamara Saulwick, Luke George, Nicola Gunn and Nat Cursio, Yumi Umiumare, Leisa Shelton and Fragment 31, Sam Routledge, Triage Live Art Collective, Claire Cunningham, Aphids, Caroline Bowditch, Kate Hunter, Rully Shabara, Ahmarnya Price, Tamara Kirby & Kelly Ryall, Aseel Tayah and Black Hole Theatre Company.
