LIT UP 2006 was a brand new event for arts professionals. A showcase of performance poetry, literature and spoken word events alongside debates and discussions, all designed to explore new ways of developing the role of live literature within performing arts programmes.
The showcase featured six specially commissioned pieces of new work, plus performances by a number of established artists and companies, all of which challenged preconceptions, bringing fresh thinking and skills to this dynamic live art form.
LIT UP was presented by the National Live Literature Consortium, a groundbreaking group of venues who are committed to developing new ways of presenting, programming and promoting live literature, funded and supported by Arts Council England.
| Our main objectives for LIT UP |
| 1 |
Raise the profile of live literature work and in so doing encourage more venues
and bookers to consider live literature for their programmes. |
| 2 |
Through the sharing of work and discussion consider the key issues affecting the development, production, performance and touring of live literature work. |
| 3 |
To develop and foster new 'live literature' works which may well have a life beyond the showcase. |
