Founded in 2018 by Louise Westerhout, Body Politic is an informal live art event which illuminates ways performing artists address their bodies' complicity with, or resistance to, dominant social ideologies and structures.
Body Politic loves works in progress and is now in its 16th iteration as a beloved space in which the artistic community can nurture work that is non institutional but also anti establishment. It's become a well-loved safe queer normative and inclusive space where artists come to try out their piece, to risk mistakes and to research in real time with their audience.
