NORPA presents

Live Edge

Raw. Bold. Local.

What happens when you give artists a former joinery warehouse and permission to push things to the edge?

Live Edge takes over The Joinery for a night of bold, adventurous work from some of Northern Rivers’ most exciting artists. Audiences will bear witness to a full spectrum of performances, from physical theatre to performance art, circus, film, live music and installations.

The raw spaces of The Joinery become the backdrop, stage and canvas as artists transform the space, bringing new energy and perspectives to this unique industrial setting.

Grab a drink from the pop-up bar, something to eat from the food vans, and settle in for a night of eclectic live art and performance.

Live Edge is a celebration of artists, ideas and the raw potential of The Joinery, a new creative home taking shape in the heart of Lismore.

ACCESSABILITY

Live Edge activates multiple areas of The Joinery and audiences are invited to move to different areas where artists are performing. There will be periods of walking, standing and opportunities to sit.

Please note some areas have uneven ground and surfaces and visitors should take care when moving through the site.

One of the exhibits is up a flight of 14 stairs. This space is not currently wheelchair accessible, however a live stream of the artwork can be viewed from the ground floor.

If you have any questions about the venue or your access needs, please contact the Box Office. We’re happy to talk it through with you. We are committed to a future accessible building.

Live Edge is supported by The Ian Potter Foundation, with funding focused on strengthening creative capacity and expanding artistic activity within the region. We also thank our Presentation Partner Kassar-Miller Giving.
