Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Chip’s written some of the greatest of all Sci-Fi and Fantasy—page turning character driven diamond-hard novels and short stories: each a lens that refracts our real-life struggles and desires.

Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?
William cradles, hammers, and rains down blows, plucking and using 2 bows to attack the strings above and below the bridge, all in the service of a fiery and passionate creativity.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
