British artists working in performance have always presented their work internationally, and the UK has in turn welcomed international performance – both since the early days of the London International Festival of Theatre and the National Review of Live Art, and more recently through the pioneering work of the Spill festival and Chelsea Theatre's Sacred. As well as more traditional means of exchanging art and ideas, live art has tried to open up new creative spaces where artists from all corners of the world can share ideas and generate new ways of working together.

Live art has always broken the rules of cultural production and exchange. It's often as much about the process of making art as the artwork itself, often made in response to a specific place and space, and often collaborative, blurring distinctions between spectators and participants and stimulating dialogues. Live art can cross all kinds of national and cultural borders and deepen our understandings of each other on the way. It's not only ideally equipped to travel, but to do so creatively. These vibrant links, and the richness of the relationships they have forged, have made the UK a beacon for live art and new performance.
Robert Pacitti founded Spill festival in 2007 because he felt the kind of work that he, Forced Entertainment and others were making was feted abroad but dismissed at home, and because he wanted to show some of the thrilling performances denied to UK audiences. Spill was also a framework for Pacitti to further the border-breaking approaches he had pioneered on his travels. Pacitti Company's Finale brought together local artists around the world to create site-specific versions of a project in every location it was shown. For SPILL 2007 not only did many of the collaborators came together for a Grand Finale, they also introduced their own work to UK audiences for the first time. What distinguishes Spill from other landmark UK festivals is that it is artist-led. From multinational groupings such as Blackmarket International to artist-led festivals across Europe, Asia and South America to intercity gatherings of artist-activists, new ideas are travelling, inequitable resources are being shared and different approaches to collaboration and cooperation are being imagined.
