Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.

Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?
Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.

Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
For this one off performance Vibracathedral Orchestra are joined by Matthew Bower and John Godbert from mighty UK heavy/drone/psych free-noise behemoths Skullfower, Sunroof! and Total.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
