Perspectives: Shifting Ground brought together artists and audiences from the dance and live art scenes for a packed programme of live performance, film, installation, documentation and debate throughout Chisenhale Dance Space. Each performance or presentation was designed to question definitions and explore the fluid boundary between artforms. All artists had previously presented work at Chisenhale, and were asked to respond to the following initial questions:
How do you define your work?
When does work stop being Dance and become Live Art?
Who makes the categories and do they matter?
Why is an examination of liveness important in your work?
