We asked Christoph to come and give a sort of informal talk, raising some of his ideas about sound and image, and playing/ showing a few examples.

I wanna be with you everywhere was a gathering of, by, and for disabled artists and writers and anyone who wanted to get with us for a series of crip meet-ups, performances, readings and other social spaces of surplus, abundance and joy.

This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
