Strickland Distribution and Ultra-red give a practical sound workshop bringing together walk participants to discuss the issues raised during the walk

A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
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?

An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
This session focuses in on the defiant mutual aid practices of early and DIY feminist movements in the UK, that attempted to shift and radicalise care and kinship away from the domain of the nuclear family.
Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
