Central Victorian live arts Incubator
“To talk about Live Art is to talk about art that is alive, active and ephemeral, art that is interested in the potential of the body and the possibilities of space.”
Live Art UK Vision Paper
The Central Victorian live arts incubator is coordinated by live arts organisation, Punctum Inc.
It provides artists and producers with access to regionally based arts professionals, presentation spaces, and opportunities for the investigation, development, and presentation of live arts.
It provides assistance in the funding, research and development, promotion and exposure of live arts practitioners’ work.
A full program of capabilities includes:
- 6 live arts seedpod sponsorships,
- Professionally equipped spaces for the research, development, and presentation of artistically ambitious works,
- Access to technical, administration, financing, marketing, suppliers, and creative crew consultancy and on line advisory resources,
- Marketing, ticketing, and box office,
- Exposure opportunities at the incubator spaces linked to our network,
- Workshops, forums, and classes,
- Peer review,
- Mentoring.
We are committed to providing artists across live arts disciplines with the opportunity and resources to
- experiment, develop, and present new work in an accessible, vibrant, professional environment,
- enable artists to engage meaningfully with the environment, communities, culture, and audiences in which our incubator spaces are situated,
- further dialogue about the role of art in local through to global contexts by developing opportunities for innovative exchange with a broad cultural cross section of arts practitioners, audience members and communities.
The live arts incubator program is designed to expand and deepen the potential for artists and the community to participate regionally in the evolution of a substantial long term engagement with live arts practice.
Punctum manages and curates work within the incubator. The incubator is available to live ats practitioners at all stages of their career and emphasises strength and diversity of artistic input, community access, and professional production values in the process and presentation of live arts.
The live arts incubator focuses on providing opportunity in four interlinked and fundamental areas:
- artform development
- community and public ownership initiatives
- innovative education initiatives and models
- creative partnerships
