Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
This trans-exclusive workshop, co-facilitated by River McAskill, River Molloy and Zinzi Buchanan, offers body-focused exercises and creative practices for a trans-exclusive space, situated within the present local and global climate. We will bring an array of offerings related to the question: how can we take care of ourselves and one another, when we can’t trust state systems to take care of us? Come as you are and bring anything that adds to your comfort.

Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
