Applied Live Art Studio
Applied Live Art Studio, known by its acronym ALAS, is a social practice studio that creates artworks centering around collaboration, psychogeography and wellbeing...[1] The studio was founded in 2015 by artist, organiser and creative consultant R.M. Sánchez-Camus,[2] who coined the term applied live art as part of their 2011 doctoral dissertation.[3] The team consists of Director R.M. Sánchez-Camus, working on a per-project basis with studio artists. Key studio artists on projects include: Rebecca Thomson, Georgie Hubbarde, Daisy Brown,[4][5] Amarachi Ogwo [6], Athena Anastassopoulos, Jess Shead [7] and Alex Parry.[8]
Projects
For every work or commission, ALAS collaborates with partner organisations. They have created text-based installations [9] [10], outdoor performances [11] and social films [12] with partners including Freedom Festival [13], IN SITU [14], European Outdoor Arts network, Tate Exchange London, Artangel and People United [15].
They developed work with Axisweb [16] and Social Art Network [17], which R.M. Sánchez-Camus co-founded in 2017 [18]. The projects, though varied given their co-design and site specificity, invite people to be creative, uncovering local knowledge and narratives whilst giving space for reflection.[19] "The result is a powerful testimony to our interconnectedness and highlights our ability to communicate and share through art making" [20].
