A changing pool of people (40 or so at a time – artists, audiences, etc) talk for 90 minutes in a simultaneous series of open-ended round-table discussions, structured like speed dating, and mixed live as both a concert and for radio broadcast.
A historical narrative of the black and latino/a transgender, bisexual, lesbian, and gay House and Ballroom Scene in relation to its artistic practices.
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
A glance at both analogue and digital processes; the clarity and precision of digital colour or the yawning, endless depth of dye and emulsion, our programme celebrates how both approaches revel in colour, saturation, hue and tone.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
A sound of buzzing and flickering metallic drones, glottal stops and guttural growls, and also an explosiveness and purity of sound that reminds you as much of Bill Dixon as anyone else.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
