Live in person at Performance Space New York and live-streamed everywhere! Watching Storyboard P dance feels like glimpsing into another world.
A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
“Beginning where you and me ends, where we don’t so much come but are already here.” Join James and Nisha to talk about breath, erotics and flesh, about our social, poetic cosubstantiality.

A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
