Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.
A poet, playwright and activist, Sanchez emerged as a seminal figure in the 1960s Black Arts Movement, writing in the name of black culture, civil rights and women’s liberation.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.
Sci-fi. After the club. Underground. Counter-narrative. Narrated movement. Cultural resistance. Wu Tsang and boychild’s collaborative performance series, will continue its evolution at Episode 9 with the addition of TOTAL FREEDOM.
