I wanna be with you everywhere is an everywhere gathering envisioned for and by disability communities and anyone who wants to get with us. IWBWYE returns to Performance Space and any space on June 21 for an outdoor pop-up and hybridized event.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
Could they be one of the most ferocious live noise acts around, or a necessary and ludicrous parody of ferocious noise acts? Could they be both?
Trio vocal performance of a score by Achim Wollscheid with Aileen Campbell, Junko and Dylan Nyoukis.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.

A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert.

From there anything could happen.
The program of composed music including Feldman’s Instruments III, Ligeti’s piece for 100 Metronomes Poeme Sympathetique, and Rebonds B by Iannis Xenakis.
