Chinese Arts Centre
Vital – International Chinese Live Art
The most exciting work to come out of China, and by artists of the Chinese Diaspora, is Live Art. Artists have stripped their performances back to the most basic, raw form of expression and are using it to communicate complex social and political messages. Chinese Arts Centre has been supporting these artists for years, culminating in Vital, a two-year festival of the very best of Live Art practitioners of Chinese descent.
For NRLA, the Chinese Arts Centre will showcase DVDs of some of the key performances of the last four years to show the range and depth of work being generated.
