Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
Over 3 days Episode 8 celebrates all the unruly ways we escape attempts to constrain us, tear down the walls of normative culture and build joy in flight.
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.

Arika is proud to be one of several arts organisations in Scotland supporting the commissioning of a radical new manifesto, by and for disabled artists working in Scotland.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.

Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon

This series of events commemorates Black August and is for anyone who wishes to answer the abolitionist call to action and thought.
A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
