Renouncing the bind of the written word, Chopin’s sound poetry is a magical evocation of the pure powers of the voices, stripped bare of language.
Joe Colley specialises in hotwired sound constructions full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones. For KYTN, Joe created a situation of controlled chaos with 50 light sensitive oscillators placed in a field of candles.
The Tower performance at KYTN throws into that mix the 70’s fluxus light shows and films of Jeff Perkins and other filmic interventions tuned to their unique frequency.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A film as a translation of Monique Wittig’s landmark feminist novel Les Guérillères, in which a plural protagonist of militant feminists inhabit a fantastical, enigmatic and hallucinatory miasmatic space-time of post Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
