GRAFTING is a space for those with a professional interest in performance art to foster connections, exchange ideas, gossip, troubleshoot, ferment and share.

Individual and collective conversations will be grounded in the physical acts of sifting and repairing, drawing inspiration from Marilyn Arsem’s work Resisting, Surviving (CEREMONY 2026).

All those who work, or want to work, in performance art, some or all of the time, are invited to join. This could include artists, technicians, comms specialists, programmers, producers, production managers, documenters, access workers and others!
