In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
A Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by improviser yodeller, composer Phil Minton.
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 party and fundraiser to support Sex Workers’ struggles and LGBT Unity with music and performances from the sex workers’ community and allies, plus DJ’s and dancing.
Taku’s actions strip back musical performance to one of its original proposals: what is an action and how does it create a situation for spending time together, for paying attention?
