A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.

For day two of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by the Vogue’ology collective.
Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.
