A dancer, media artist, and choreographer who makes multi-dimensions and realms, Lin’s amplification of energies and connections across bodies devolves the separations we are taught to abide.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.

Open community meeting to discuss some of the prevalent concerns impacting the ballroom community.
