Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.

Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing by the Stones of Stenness, instead of the Ring of Brodgar, because of bad weather.
MICRO 1 – Wrap a live microphone with a very large sheet of paper. Make a light bundle. Keep the microphone live for another 5 minutes. T. Kosugi – (1961)

A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
