Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
In Ramayya’s visionary poetry, the body assumes as many forms as love produces states: attraction and repulsion, excitement and exhaustion, selfishness and the dissolution of self.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
Do art forms like black radical poetry, free jazz and improvisation create a space for the performance of freedom? Did they ever? And can they still do so now?
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
I wanna be with you everywhere is an everywhere gathering envisioned for and by disability communities and anyone who wants to get with us. IWBWYE returns to Performance Space and any space on June 21 for an outdoor pop-up and hybridized event.
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.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
