In Ramayya’s visionary poetry, the body assumes as many forms as love produces states: attraction and repulsion, excitement and exhaustion, selfishness and the dissolution of self.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
We’ll look more at psycho-emotional health – exploring experiences as opposed to diagnoses. And exploring collective care and collective healing.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
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).

A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Sound as it is endured by space and the body: 15 participants lie face down and pound the floor with a microphone one thousand times, each person choosing their own rhythm and intensity.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
Three panels offering opportunities to discuss how to build stronger alliances between the sex workers’ rights, migrants rights and reproductive justice movements and how to face, together, an increasingly punitive and reactionary system.
