The Live Art and Performance Group (LAPER) is a performance art group organised by Veronica Cordova de la Rosa, Peta Lloyd, Hugh Pryor, Stu Allsopp and Dario Utreras. Activities organised have included: * lunchtime performance presentations at the School of Arts by local and international performance artists, performance art workshops run by invited artists from both Oxford and abroad, work in progress sessions documenting and providing feedback on works in development publication and documentation of performance and performances publication of creative writing in various forms, such as: poetry, critical reviews of performance and presentations, etc. *performance art presentations on the streets, in public spaces as well as in art institutions in Oxford, London and elsewhere. Veronica Cordova de la Rosa and Peta Lloyd launched LAPER two years ago with the aim of raising the profile of Live Art and Performance Art in Oxford and creating opportunities for students and researchers to be supported in developing and recording their own work. Over the last year LAPER has raised its profile and was pleased to have acquired the funding necessary for inviting a diverse range of internationally acclaimed performers to attende at the School of Arts, for fourteen lunchtime performances. LAPER also organised ELASTIC, its first performance art festival. This year LAPER is planning and organising a series of performance art events in public spaces in Oxford as well as live events abroad. Documentation of LAPER's events will form part of VOLUMES, launched this November at Independent Art Publishing Fair in Zurich. LAPER is always open to collaborate and invites researchers, artists, and scholars from all backgrounds and stages of career to join in its activities and/or to apply to
