Taking over the gallery spaces at Dundee Contemporary Arts, the first Kill Your Timid Notion presented a 3 day programme of live immersive experiences and specially curated film programmes.

The Songspiels take on a mode of musical theatre developed by playwright Bertolt Brecht and composer Kurt Weill in the early twentieth century, presenting political and social concerns through the accessible and (often funny) form of song.
Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
