New Performance Turku is an international festival for performance and Live Art, which takes place at various venues around Turku from 29th September to 5th October 2014. The festival presents a program of both international and national artists from the field of new performance art. The performance venues are for example Titanik Gallery, TEHDAS Theatre and Kutomo. Some of the works will take place in public spaces around the city.

New Performance Turku Festival wants to examine what is actually happening in the international arena of experimental performance and Live Art, what is new and where do the influences come from. The New Performance Turku Festival is curated and organised by Leena Kela, regional artist of performance art and Christopher Hewitt, Berlin based independent curator. The festival is produced New Performance Turku association.
At New Performance Turku Festival there will be three performances from the Floating Platforms project, a collaboration between the festival and Aboagora-symposium. In the weeks preceding New Performance Turku Festival the collaborating reasearchers and performance artists of this second part of the project will start their work in residencies. They will explore their own and each others ways of thinking and working and they address the questions related to dialogue between performance art and science, and humanities. The residency period results in works presented at the New Performance Turku Festival.
