Established in 1999, the Live Art Development Agency (LADA) is the world’s leading organisation for Live Art, producing specialised projects, opportunities, resources and publications for those who make, watch, research, study, teach, produce, present, write about and archive Live Art, and creating conditions in which diversity, innovation and risk in contemporary culture can thrive. LADA is a 'Centre for Live Art'​: a knowledge centre, a production centre for programmes and publications, a research centre setting artists and ideas in motion, and an online centre for representation and dissemination. LADA works strategically, in partnership and in consultation with artists and organisations across the cultural sector to develop new artistic frameworks, legitimize unclassifiable artforms, and give agency to underrepresented artists. The Live Art Development Agency: -Houses the Study Room, a unique open access research library; -Runs Unbound, the world’s only dedicated online shop for Live Art books, DVDs and limited editions; -Pioneers models of artistic and professional development, dialogue and debate; contributes to groundbreaking research, study and teaching; -Coordinates Live Art UK, the national network of Live Art promoters; - And develops ways of increasing access to, and engagement with, Live Art through curatorial projects, programming partnerships and publishing. All aspects of LADA’s work are informed by issues of difference and diversity, and are grounded in a commitment to creating the conditions in which innovation, experimentation and risk can thrive, and to developing new forms of public engagement and new discourses around the nature, role and value of contemporary culture. LADA particularly supports the most challenging artists, practices and ideas of contemporary culture, including emerging artists, and artists from culturally diverse backgrounds.

LAHP was created in 2014 as an Arts & Humanities Research Council-funded Doctoral Training Partnership between King’s College London, School of Advanced Study (University of London), and University College London. Queen Mary University of London and the London School of Economics & Political Science joined the partnership as associate members in 2015 and 2016 respectively. As part of its renewal of Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funding in 2018, the LAHP partnership expanded to eight partners, and in addition to the original five partners it now includes: Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, Royal College of Art, and Royal College of Music. LAHP currently has over 300 funded students and, in line with its original vision, all LAHP training is available to both LAHP-funded and non-funded students across the partnership. Working in partnership with LAHP’s eight university partners are six core delivery partners: Museum of London; The National Archives; the Metropolitan Police; Google; the Victoria & Albert Museum; and the Wellcome Trust. LAHP’s institutions offer a world-class environment for training and research. Subject coverage in arts and humanities at LAHP’s institutions is comprehensive and the PhD experience is enriched by our libraries, archives, museums and special collections.
