How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
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.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
Fernando thinks that when maths is deep, it should be simple and able to be explained by hand gestures. By embodying ideas, we’re able to more clearly think about their cultural implications.
What is the radical concept at the core of ‘rhythm’, expanded from simply musical or mathematical notions to encompass personal, social, collective rhythms?
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
