Access All Areas: putting disability centre stage
Symposium explored the importance of live performance in disability art practice It’s the art and artists who tend to be marginalised at so many conferences , but on Saturday they took centre stage at Access All Areas , a symposium created by the Live Art Development Agency (Lada). The two-day programme examined disability and how live art lies at the forefront of disability art practice, thinking and theory. Maybe it’s because disability itself is so marginalised in mainstream culture ( as indeed is access to art by the disabled ) that Lada was so stringent about refusing to divorce theory from practice, talking from doing.
