The webcasts in the last week of March are dedicated to the Live Culture 
programme of Live Art performances, debates and presentations: 
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/eventseducation/livecultureseries.htm

Live Culture includes a series of illustrated talks looking at the history 
of Live Art practices, their archiving, documentation and rendition within 
personal, critical and institutional frames. It provides a timely 
opportunity to engage with the shifting nature of Live Art practice in 
relation to the visual arts. It brings together distinguished artists, 
theorists and curators to examine the expansion of performance art across 
broader artistic and social arenas, and its role in cultural change.

This two day international symposium looks at the vibrant culture of Live 
Art and its relation to the politics of the contemporary. In our society of 
high technology and spectacle, the 'live' and the 'immediate' have become 
prime values. But what does Live Art have to say about our culture-wide 
lust for the live? An array of renowned artists and theorists will give 
presentations on the status and resonances of live practice, its histories 
and futures. Discussions will explore performance and place, the body in 
extremity, activism and global culture.
Speakers include: Peggy Phelan, Andrew Quick, Lin Hixson, Keith Khan, Henry 
M Sayre, Tim Etchells, Carol Becker, Jean Fisher, William Pope.L, Ricardo 
Dominguez, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Alan Read, John Jordan, Alastair 
MacLennan, Catherine David, Matthew Goulish, Ron Athey, Oron Catts, Amelia 
Jones, Adrian Heathfield, Leslie Hill, and Andre Lepecki.
