One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?
A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Save the dates for Episode 12.
Wednesday 11 – Sunday 15 November 2026
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
In many ways, this Episode is our attempt to engage with Fred’s incredible writing: with his proposal that all black performance (culture, politics, sexuality, identity, and blackness itself) is improvisation.
A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.
