Episode two of the Live Art UK podcast is about Yorkshire: in particular the different working environments for artists and organisations in cities like Sheffield and Leeds, but also in smaller towns like Scarborough, out by the sea.

In it, we talk to Terry O’Connor from Forced Entertainment, who reflects on changes in Sheffield since they arrived there in 1984; Jess Sweet and Adam Young of Live Art Bistro, on creating a home for the Live Art community in Leeds; Annie Lloyd and Peter Reed from Compass Live Art, on the way their organisation grows and contracts between biennial festivals; and Jade Montserrat, an artist living and working in Scarborough, on how her town could take better advantage of its empty shops and venues.

Ep:05 with Sibylle Peters

There There replies to Alessandra Cianetti's question: 

Dana and Bojana you have founded There There - a 50% Romanian 50% Serbian performance company - in 2010 and I have been lucky enough to attend both Eastern Europeans for Dummies at the RichMix in 2016 and Trigger Warning this summer at the National Maritime Museum. Both fun and disturbing experiences that playfully delve into a culture of fear and distrust of immigrants especially invisible and demonised communities from Eastern Europe. Why as a duo, you felt the urge to follow this research and how these works fit with the history of your shared practice? Also, how did you transitioned from the stage-based Eastern Europeans for Dummies to the more installative and participatory Trigger Warning?
