This session focuses in on the defiant mutual aid practices of early and DIY feminist movements in the UK, that attempted to shift and radicalise care and kinship away from the domain of the nuclear family.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.
Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, a devoutly organic tapestry deeply rooted in the sway and bow of nature.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
