*New Work Yorkshire uses this definition to describe New Work:

New Work Yorkshire loosely defines New Work as live art, contemporary performance, video/time-based arts, sound-art/experimental music, cross-disciplinary and digital practices. New Work operates on the margins of mainstream contemporary practice and/or blurs the boundaries between disciplines.

*New Work Yorkshire uses this definition to describe Live Art:

Paraphrased from Live Culture, the publication accompanying a Tate Modern/Live Art Development Agency’s programme held in 2003 (www.thisisLiveArt.co.uk).

'Live Art practices occupy all kinds of mediums in a volatile state, it challenges the orthodoxies of fine art practice, explores the limits of theatricality, appropriates the idioms of mass culture, pushes at the boundaries of choreographic conventions and explores the performativity of cyberspaces'.
