Over the last decade and a half Home Live Art and its small team of producers have developed a reputation for bringing socially engaged live art into mainstream contexts. Projects such as the Church Ale Festival, The Alternative Village Fete and a 3-year national tour with Ida Barr’s Mash Up have helped to establish the comp any’s open and accessible approach to live art programming,while maintaining a sense of risk taking and playful provocation.  While maintaining their national remit, Home Live Art recently relocated to the South East, developing programmes of work for Angel House in Brighton and the Coastal Currents Festival in Hastings. The duo have also secured NPO funding for a further 4 years enabling the company to fully establish itself and its activity in the region.  If you are new to HLA and are interested in applying, we suggest browsing the website to get familiar with our work.  About us is a good place to start, and here you can read the news post that first announced the vacancy.
