A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.

In which Storyboard P and members of Project X pick a song, freestyle to it, chat with us about what dancing means to them, then pick another song, freestyle, chat, repeat…
Julius Eastman’s Evil Nigger for 4 pianos performed by Joe Kubera, Kate Thompson, David Murray, Alan Fearon and Simon Passmore.

A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
Can a musician create a sonic photograph; something with a depth of field, where you can hear sounds and their interconnections, much as you see objects and their relationships in a photo? Could a filmmaker use musical concepts to represent landscape?
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
