Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.

Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!

A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
A historical narrative of the black and latino/a transgender, bisexual, lesbian, and gay House and Ballroom Scene in relation to its artistic practices.
