An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Leading language/ action/ sound poet performed his groundbreaking concrete poem, a dizzying mandala of text, symbols and rubber stamps; a kind of book as reading machine.

Former street performer, organist, performance artist, circus performer, harpist, accordion player, tree surgeon and tricyclist performing solo.
Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon

This series of events commemorates Black August and is for anyone who wishes to answer the abolitionist call to action and thought.
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
