Featured: Live Arts Exchange (LAX) Festival (Los Angeles, CA, USA)

ABACUS-Sundance-Image1

Live Arts Exchange (LAX) creates space for and draws attention to contemporary performance emerging out of Los Angeles.  This home-grown performance series showcases some of the most innovative artists and independent companies in LA, creates social events that encourage cross-genre hangouts, and provides opportunity for peer to peer critique.

Produced by Los Angeles Performance Practice and the Bootleg Theater, the first ever Live Arts Exchange pulls contemporary theater and dance, film/video, animation, punk opera, and party into one space.  LAX 2013 features work from Early Morning Opera, Showbox LA, Poor Dog Group, and Chi-wang Yang, with special events with Timur & the Dime Museum, Zoe Aja Moore, and Miwa Matreyek.
