Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Can our favourite Vegas-born poet of prophetic blackness and a South Central transmuter of social rage into beauty feel through each other?
Vajra are a Japanese psychedelic rock supergroup, hewn from the collective consciousness of Fushitsusha’s Keiji Haino, folk radical Kan Mikami and percussionist Toshiaki Ishitsuka.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Sci-fi. After the club. Underground. Counter-narrative. Narrated movement. Cultural resistance. Wu Tsang and boychild’s collaborative performance series, will continue its evolution at Episode 9 with the addition of TOTAL FREEDOM.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
