From my first visit, one thing that always impressed me about LUPA is the willingness to engage with the local community. It's arguable that they don't have much of a choice; running a monthly (and occasionally pretty noisy) performance art event out of a garage surrounded by people's flats is the kind of thing that gets the council cracking down on you in a hurry. But I've never sensed that LUPA's community ties are an obligation; this engagement both a source of pride and something that strengthens the work on display. The world of performance art can seem impossibly insular at times; the same hundred or so artists performing almost exclusively to each other in a mutually congratulatory circlejerk.
