Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.

Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.

Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
