Drawing performance is a stream of performance art in which artists create their
artwork in front of a live audience while communicating with the viewers.
Drawing Performance is often multi-disciplinary, combining dance, video,
photography and sound. It utilises multi-media too, allowing artists a full rein
of expression for their ideas.
Headed by artist Ram Samocha, Draw to Perform is an international community for
Drawing Performance. Since 2013 Draw to Perform organizing international
symposiums and festivals, work with and support emerging and established
artists, hold various events, collaborations with art institutions, and run
educational residencies and workshops.
Ram Samocha Ram Samocha is an artist and curator, presently resides in Brighton,
UK. Moving frequently between counties and cities made finding and making
connections with like-minded artists difficult. Ram’s solution was to set up the
Draw to Perform Company, a platform for artists to gather, collaborate, share
and exchange ideas around performative drawing.
