Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?

To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
Paul Sharits one of the great experimental, sometimes called structuralist / materialist, filmmakers of the 20th Century.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
