A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Gravitational Feel is an engine for intensifying the differentiation of our entanglement, which you continually reprogramme in the mutual rub, shift and lap of its sonic, wooden, steel, textile and human material.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
A testimony to poverty from Chris’s own experiences, and an invitation to engage with an all too typical situation and context through a kind of imaginary listening.

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