A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
Renouncing the bind of the written word, Chopin’s sound poetry is a magical evocation of the pure powers of the voices, stripped bare of language.
Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.

Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
