The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
Elizabeth’s writing pulls apart toxic settler colonialism and the worldview used to justify it; working towards an alternative distribution of powers, so that ways of being otherwise can endure.
Jarrod Fowler and Christof Migone kick things off with performances involving edible plants, a saw, dandruff, and Christof responding to the prompt: “as far as you can for as long as you can.”
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Inhabiting a different kind of energy, Ueinzz’s open rehearsals reveal a glimpse into their ongoing daily theatrical modes of caring – multiplying the ways in which their plays are meant to be felt, rather than understood.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
