Bbeyond is the only Performance Art focused organisation and charity in Northern Ireland. Our intergenerational membership spans from members in their early twenties to mid eighties. With twenty years of experience and networking behind us, we support local artists on an international level.

We organise regular local events in public spaces where members of the public are welcome to join in, as well as formal programmed events in venues ranging from the Ulster Museum to town halls. With rising costs it is becoming more and more difficult to support our artists and continue to integrate performance art into the mainstream local cultural scene.

Thank you to our funders, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Belfast City Council, without their support we would be unable to bring the event to life.

We also thank Belfast School of Art and Catalyst Arts for their contribution to the symposium
