Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.

Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.

A panel exploring the poetics of abolition. “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change.”
