Fierce Festival Ltd

Fierce Festival is annual international festival of live art that takes place across Birmingham. This includes theatre, dance, music, installation and digital practices. This year performances are sited in car parks, legendary clubs, the Brutalist Central Library and @AE Harris, a venue in an old metal factory, alongside established art centres like IKON, Symphony Hall, Birmingham REP and mac. The Festival challenging, boundary breaking work combined with playful interventions in the public realm. Since 2009, Laura McDermott and Harun Morrison have been joint artistic directors of Fierce. The duo have introduced a new ‘slow burn’ programming model centred around a core group of artists called the Fierce Festival Caravan of Artists.
