Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.

The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
