Horizontal Practices is a strand of LPS programming dedicated to promoting peer-to-peer learning and non-hierarchical spaces for conversation. These take form as discursive events, professional training, curated guest workshops, and roundtable discussions initiated by the LPS team.

Horizontal Practices responds to the need for and importance of space for experimental modes of exchange that sit outside the context of institutional ‘education’ frameworks. As with the rest of the LPS programme, queer and feminist practices and those which sit in-between visual art and theatre are at the core of Horizontal Practices. 

Sessions take place throughout the year on a monthly basis. Facilitators are both invited and selected through an open call process, reviewed quarterly.

Attend: Horizontal Practices is open to anyone to attend, with courses varying from free experimental workshops to ticketed professional development and training courses. 

Facilitate: Horizontal Practices is for practitioners who have a facilitation practice and wish to develop it further or who are interested in exploring ideas for discursive events. These can include but are not limited to: workshops, professional training, reading groups, screenings, round tables, participatory performances, and more experimental formats. 

Practitioners from performance, theatrical, artistic, literary, dance, and other creative disciplines are welcome to apply. No formal training or professional background is required.
