Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.

Jandek performing at the Scottish Rite Theatre in Austin, Texas with Juan Garcia, Nick Hennies and Chris Cogburn.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
A space to reflect on our own experiences with the police and explore more community and care-based ways of dealing with violence and difficulties in our lives.
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.
