An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Ian and Gil will host a discussion on the Argument project’s social and political commentaries, and with you try and maybe think through whether and how they might still have some currency today: what’s changed and what’s stayed the same?
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
A freestyle performed conversation for bodies and voices – with the Queen of Krump, the master of Vogue Femme Dramatics and the rising star of Vogue Women’s Performance.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
