Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
When one calls a strike, who hears the call, who attunes and listens to it? How to listen to the call of a strike? What prevents one from hearing this call or stops one from listening to it?
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
What might Carter and Parker’s collaboration tell us about our own performances of responsibility and liberty, whether individual, social or musical?

Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
The practice of North African Indigenous revolutionary love, in the face of European capitalist violence and settler colonialism, with one of the most vital anti-colonial thinkers in Europe.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
