About the programme
The aim of the LAPS programme is to collectively investigate what performance does, how it does and the effects performance may have in society. Our programme provides practical and theoretical tools for artists who wish to explore, develop and distribute their practice and knowledge in society. LAPS combines critical thinking with practice-led research, and seek to find synergies between research and practice.
