In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Terry is one of the most entertaining and unpredictable musicians in the London free improvising music scene. Rhodri Davies extends his instrument under a battery of techniques creating sound colours and textures quite alien to the harp.

As part of Karrabing’s visit to Scotland, the collective will be hosted for three days in the Isle of Skye by The School of Plural Futures.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
The ongoing development of [b]reach, an abolitionist black queer retelling of Marge Piercy’s incredible feminist utopian novel Woman on the Edge of Time.
