LIVE COLLISION 2015 FESTIVAL: Live Conversations curated by Xavier de Sousa and Sally Rose

For blogs on these conversations: http://www.livecollision.com/blog/

Curated by Sally Rose and Xavier de Sousa as part of their Producers in Residence stint at Live Collision Festival 2015, Dublin. This series of discussions aims to shape an understanding of the landscape of the arts in Ireland, and the relevance of the international programme offered by Live Collision.

Using three of Live Collision’s festival strands to inform an active enquiry into the importance of festivals, how artists are reaching out to audiences and each other, and how Live Art can reflect on current social and political issues. Findings and outcomes will be shared throughout the festival via Live Collision blog and more widely.

Xavier de Sousa and Sally Rose are independent producers based in London, working with a range of independent artists and organisations. They are resident producers at Live Art Development Agency.
