Louise said: ‘I’m excited to host a meeting for artists in Brighton & Hove to discover how more high quality performance work can be made as well as presented in the city. I know there is a thriving community of people living here and making performance happen around the UK and the world. I look forward to hearing their thoughts and opinions on how they’d like to make their work in their own city more regularly.’
