Taking over the gallery spaces at Dundee Contemporary Arts, the first Kill Your Timid Notion presented a 3 day programme of live immersive experiences and specially curated film programmes.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
