Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.

Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
Open community meeting to discuss some of the prevalent concerns impacting the ballroom community.
