Liveworks is PSpace’s flagship festival of live art. Happening every two years, it brings together the best of new, experimental and genre-defying art and performance from around Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Liveworks is a gathering site for those that value risk-taking and experimentation, those that aren’t afraid of big ideas, and those that are ready to be moved by powerful and surprising art and performance.
In 2025, Liveworks took over Carriageworks from 22-26 October with dance, sound, theatre, new media, installation, queer spectacle and free public performances. Featuring a massive line up of never-before-seen work and world premieres from Australia, Aotearoa, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong and Japan, Liveworks 2025 brought genre-defying artists from around the Asia-Pacific to Gadigal land.
We are excited that Liveworks will return in late October 2027.
