Based at the University of Bath, ICIA presents a public arts programme that is selected around an annual theme. The season includes theatre, dance and music with an interdisciplinary emphasis, exhibitions, films, discussions, practical workshops and classes. As an academic research centre, ICIA commissions and supports new arts projects and present training opportunities, seminars and symposia exploring interdisciplinary arts practice.
Theme for 2010:
Over the coming year ICIA prepares for its new home in the University’s Arts Complex, due to open in 2011. With this in mind, our season takes the place of work as its theme, featuring artists who explore the workplace and the part work plays in our lives.
