This year’s Fierce Festival starts on 4th October and I’ll be taking part in two ways:
Live Art in 2113
From 11ish on October 4th I’ll be taking part in a discussion at the mac where we give our thoughts on what we think live art will be like in 2113
A gathering exploring the future and live art’s relationship to chance across various spheres in our lives as part of 2113, the Live Art UK Associated Gathering 2013. The public part of this day will involve self-organised clusters of conversations picking up on themes explored earlier in the day.
I’ll be focusing on internet culture, whatever the heck that means!

Paper Stages
The previously mentioned Paper Stages book will be making its Birmingham launch as part of Fierce Festival.
Paper Stages is a project which saw its first edition launched as part of the Forest Fringe in 2012, and has two elements. One is the physical artefact, a book of texts and instructions written to inspire the public into performing their own works without the need for a clearly defined physical space.
This nationwide edition of the book has invited contributions from a selection of artists including Birmingham based artists Code Lee Barbour and Antonio Roberts.
The Guardian also wrote a nice bit about the book on their website.
Pick up your FREE copy of the book from STRYX throughout the festival. Also, take an old camera 😉
