A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.

Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert.
