An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
A tour with John Butcher and Akio Suzuki that set out to allow the audience to experience (and to listen to) the enviroment around them in different way.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
Edinburgh. Cask-strength electrohypnol and shroom damaged folk croonings by Lapsed Electronics empire builder.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Thinking against the monoculturalism of Western thought—of faith, affection, sexuality and gender—which completely lacks any utility to, or descriptive value of Indigenous worldviews.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A recently reanimated Ascension, with mighty Leeds drum hero Paul Hession bringing a dense polyrhythmic torrent into play with Jaworzyn’s reinvigorated piercing guitar.
