A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
