Three intimate 45 minute sessions, reading your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing by the Stones of Stenness, instead of the Ring of Brodgar, because of bad weather.
Do almost nothing: re-present (unaltered and arranged by chance) silent family home movies handed down to Flo, (Ken’s wife) and follow them with a “teach yourself Yiddish” cassette tape.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A sound of buzzing and flickering metallic drones, glottal stops and guttural growls, and also an explosiveness and purity of sound that reminds you as much of Bill Dixon as anyone else.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
