Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
Sci-fi. After the club. Underground. Counter-narrative. Narrated movement. Cultural resistance. Wu Tsang and boychild’s collaborative performance series, will continue its evolution at Episode 9 with the addition of TOTAL FREEDOM.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
