TESTING GROUNDS is a micro festival that has two main focuses: to provide a platform for artists to experiment with new ideas and projects, focusing on the contextualization of their work and taking risks - reaching for that idea that is currently just on the edge of their horizon, rather than reproducing an existing work; and to provide the audience with a wide variety of works by presenting an eclectic programme of alternating genres/disciplines that embodies the diversity of artistic attitudes and approaches.
TESTING GROUNDS hopes to contribute to the richness of the Brighton Live Art scene by creating a place where the audience can glimpse the newest work, be provoked, discuss new ideas and socialize. Thus this micro festival ought to be seen as a social encounter as much as an experimental artistic event.
