What is PiE?

PiE is a member-led* platform for arts practitioners, curators, writers and producers to meet and build dynamic relationships, to collaborate and foster meaningful connections between the work made and local communities.

 

P in PiE stands for Performance but also for Play, Participation, Practice, People.  Or anything else that springs to mind. We see Performance as a very broad term. We want to keep it open. We celebrate diversity and breadth of perspectives by continually asking what it means.

​​

PiE is interdisciplinary. We are open to everyone who is curious about what performance means to them in their practice, which might be music, live art, urban tactics, theatre, participatory and social practice, visual art, film, outdoor performance, circus, dance, writing, graphic art, performance poetry, scenography, short forms, cabaret, digital systems, games, immersive events, festivals, site responsive and site specific interventions, placemaking … Anything else missing?​

​

*PIE is inspired by and modeled after a thriving, ambitious, forward-thinking member-led network in Plymouth, called CAMP. Click on the link to find out more.
