navigate
is a four-day festival of live art taking place on Newcastle and Gateshead Quays this summer, from Thursday 30 June until Sunday 3 July. Featuring world premieres of several specially commissioned works navigate comprises an international line-up of artists whose diverse practices address navigation as the core theme – from the examination of the body as a site, to the mapping of real and virtual geographies, to the navigation of data in digital media and the navigation of time across physical and emotional space.
  
The festival takes place across three different venues: BALTIC, ms Stubnitz and on specially organised coach trips. Stubnitz, a German ship converted into a floating venue, will be sailing to the north east of England to play a unique role in the festival. During the ship’s voyage artists Lone Twin, Sneha Solanki and Duncan Speakman will create new works influenced by the journey to form part of the festival. Ground-breaking small audience, durational and auditorium performances will take place each day in BALTIC and on board Stubnitz and every evening there will be an opportunity to embark on a specially commissioned audio coach tour around Tyneside, by international artists’ group e-Xplo. Alongside the performance programme will be a series of talks by invited keynote speakers.

Full programme details, schedule and booking information will be available shortly on http://navigatelive.org or phone BALTIC on +44 (0)191 478 1810 to request a printed festival guide.
