<i>Low Lives</i> is pleased to present <i>Low Lives 3</i>, the third installment in a series of annual international art events. <i>Low Lives 3</i>
will feature more than fifty live performance-based works over two
days, each transmitted over the web and projected in real time at venues
across the globe, with a special spotlight on contemporary
choreography.<br>
<br>
<i>Low Lives</i> has expanded its reach to thirty-four presenting
partners in the United States, Mexico, Spain, Japan, Germany, India,
Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, and Austria. By featuring performances at
numerous venues and broadcasting those works via online networks, <i>Low Lives</i> provides a new model for efficiently presenting, viewing, and archiving live performance-based art.<br>
<br>
<i>Low Lives</i> highlights works that critically investigate,
challenge, and extend the potential of performative practices. The
project celebrates the transmission of ideas beyond geographical and
cultural borders, offering global audiences the opportunity to consider
live performance in both physical and virtual space.<br>
