Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
Austrian guitarist who specialises in a warm digital deconstruction of guitar noise
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Performances of compositions by Jean-Luc Guionnet and others, with Julia Letitia Scott, Iain Campbell F-W, Neil Davidson, Fritz Welch, Liene Rozite, Emilia Beatriz.
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
Introducing and setting intentions for a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves.
