Overheard (Performance Part 2)
Resonance Radio Orchestra
A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.

Tetsuo Kogawa

What is the Sound of Freedom?

Over 3 days Episode 8 celebrates all the unruly ways we escape attempts to constrain us, tear down the walls of normative culture and build joy in flight.

Alice Sheppard
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
