Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.

Chip’s written some of the greatest of all Sci-Fi and Fantasy—page turning character driven diamond-hard novels and short stories: each a lens that refracts our real-life struggles and desires.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
