Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?
