Lincoln Arts Centre (LAC)

Description

LAC aims to create a thriving research culture, supporting public engagement in research from across the university and beyond (engaging with local and international participants and audiences).

Pairing industry experts in contemporary performance-making and visual arts with areas of academic expertise.

Alongside the independent research of individual colleagues, LAC encourages collaborative, interdisciplinary and public-facing research initiatives. LAC works extensively with communities both locally and globally, and alongside itsarchival, ethnographic, and critical research work, its projects encompass creative energy through performances and exhibitions.

LAC also connects research to its programme through post show discussions and wrap around activity.

Research is a key priority within LAC's artistic policy, built into its Programming Process criteria and into its Open To Ideas scheme. Why is research important and how does it connect to LAC? Arts-based methods and approaches can provide invaluable insight into the lived experience of individuals and communities to answer big questions and to inform approaches to mental health and wellbeing and the challenges of our times.
