"Live Art can be defined as "art work that broadly embraces ephemeral, time-based, visual and performing arts events that include a human presence and broaden, challenge or question traditional views of the arts".

The Live Art Development Agency:

"Live Art should not be understood as a description of an artform but as a strategy to ‘include' a diversity of practices and artists that might otherwise find themselves ‘excluded' from all kinds of policy and provision and all kinds of curatorial contexts and critical debates".

In 1999 the publicly funded Live Art Development Agency was founded in London, UK, to promote and co-ordinate activity in the field of Live Art. The Live Art Development Agency offers resources, professional development initiatives, and projects for the support and development of Live Art practices, and critical discourses in the UK and internationally
