“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
Can a collective performance of NourbeSe’s poem of black life as it exceeds containment enact alternative forms of selfhood that emerge in and out of African diasporic experience?
This trans-exclusive workshop, co-facilitated by River McAskill, River Molloy and Zinzi Buchanan, offers body-focused exercises and creative practices for a trans-exclusive space, situated within the present local and global climate. We will bring an array of offerings related to the question: how can we take care of ourselves and one another, when we can’t trust state systems to take care of us? Come as you are and bring anything that adds to your comfort.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Sometimes delicate, sometimes harsh and jarring, Yagi’s koto solos are as much inspired by Nancarrow or Cage as they are traditional.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
