In episode 2 in our mini series The London Open Live Podcast, we present "Live Art 101: what is it & why do we do it?" - a conversation between Joseph Morgan Schofield, Martin O’Brien, and Pianka Parna (host). Speaking to key concepts and ideas around piercing, blood practices, pain, and nudity, this episode interrogates ideas of 'braveness' and 'insanity' often associated with live art and forms of pain practice. What is the stigma and pathologisation around these ideas? How do we open the conversation to audiences who feel they need to 'understand' a performance while watching it? And why is 'understanding' important at all?
