A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!

Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
