Live Art in Rural UK
Live Art in Rural Spaces UK, is a new programme for LADA which was conceived by outgoing Director, Chinasa Ezugha. This programme focuses on amplifying the embodied practices of artists living and working in rural locations across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
This is a year long project in which we are pleased to announce our first sets of artists, Miranda Whall and Poppy Jackson.
Miranda Whall: When Earth Speaks
When Earth Speaks was initially funded by the National Environmental Research Council (NERC) as part of an X Disciplinary Hopping Research Project: Planetary Multispecies Politics in Action led by Professor Milja Kurki, Aberystwyth University.
When Earth Speaks and other iterations, is an evolving and ongoing series of durational and relational drawing performances in which Miranda Whall will be translating raw data from various sources. In When Earth Speaks Miranda is representing the high resolution soil sensor technology data beyond traditional statistics, so that the data might have a wider meaning and greater impact.

Miranda Whall: Soil Voices
Soil Voices was funded by the National Environmental Research Council (NERC) as part of an X Disciplinary Hopping Research Project: Making the Invisible Visible: Instrumenting and Interpreting an Upland Landscape for Climate Change Resilience led by Pot Mariecia Fraser, Aberystwyth University.
Soil Voices will be a triptych of durational performances in which Miranda Whall will again be representing the high resolution soil sensor technology data beyond traditional statistics, so that the data might have a wider meaning and greater impact.

Poppy Jackson: Pathways Home
Through Live Art in Rural UK, Poppy will be developing a year-long series of performances and actions in the surrounding landscape and further afield into Norfolk and Suffolk. Live works will explore performance as a marker of presence in the land that connects embodied discovery of its history with its potential. Centring these works at the artist’s base will engage, develop and expand local performance art audiences. Performances will be documented by local photographers and videographers, and will build towards a larger event and an exhibition at the culmination of the year-long project.
