About

Inbetween Time Festival of Live Art and Intrigue Inbetween Time Festival of Live Art and Intrigue returns across the streets, sites and art spaces of Bristol from 1 Dec. Over 75 events involving 130 artists from the UK and beyond will make up a breakneck programme of live, digital, sound, sculptural, architectural, dance, theatre and guerrilla works. Opening with five days of events and performances, the exhibition What Next for the Body and live art programme continues until 6 Feb, with Arnolfini as the main festival hub. www.inbetweentime.co.uk This symposium focuses on themes emerging out of the international programme of work within What Next for the Body. The morning session will place artists together with curators and social researchers to explore the idea of death as a visceral presence in the experience of the living. The afternoon will locate artists and scientists together to reveal the body in flux, as an evolving organism in the face of emerging scientific discovery and medical ethics. Speakers include; Kira o'Reilly artist, AHRC creative fellow at Department of Drama, Queen Mary University of London; Jennifer Willet, Artist and Assistant Professor at The University of Windsor, Canada; Dr. John Troyer, from the Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath; Dr. Muireann Quigley, Lecturer in Bioethics, The University of Manchester; Jordan McKenzie, artist; Richard Gregory, Artistic Director, Quarantine; David Williams, Reader in Drama and Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London. Additional speakers to be announced. Inbetween Time Festival is produced by Inbetween Time Productions in collaboration with Arnolfini. Inbetween Time Festival is supported by Arts Council England, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, University of Bristol and Bristol City Council.
