Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
 
Solo by Jean-Philippe Gross, a French electro-acoustic improviser, working with mixing board, cheap mics, small speakers and an analog synth, built around a honed interest in feedback.
 
A collaborative social justice project that uses art, activism and awareness to combat the systemic oppression facing young, trans, queer & gender nonconforming people of colour.
 
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
 
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
 
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
 
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
 
A sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.
 
The Songspiels take on a mode of musical theatre developed by playwright Bertolt Brecht and composer Kurt Weill in the early twentieth century, presenting political and social concerns through the accessible and (often funny) form of song.
 
A mixture of investigation groups, live performances, screenings and installations at DCA; the festival looked to strip back music, sound, film and moving image to their core ideas and explore them with artists and audiences.
 
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
