A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
Ubuntu Women Shelter, National Ugly Mugs and the Sex Workers Union warmly invite you to a generative conversation (and Q&A) about the needs and rights of migrant sex workers in Scotland.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
For musical chameleon Richard Youngs both his creative and family life are focused in the room that many of us consider the centre piece of our lives.
