LADA Archive presents

Live Art Development Agency (LADA) is a registered charity based in East London, dedicated to the development of Live Art research, practice and infrastructure. As a ‘Development Agency’, our vision is to serve, nurture and sustain an expansive Live Art ecology that prioritises learning, practices resistance, centres under-represented artists and invites possibility about what art can be and do.

Founded in 1999, LADA has a long history of supporting contemporary culture’s most radical artists, practices and ideas. Our specialised resources, projects and publications have been driven by an unwavering commitment to Live Art as a cultural strategy that makes space for the processes, practices, bodies and identities often excluded from traditional art and performance contexts.
