Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
Audio signals pass through light bulbs, causing the filaments of the bulbs to sing and crackle in a chorus of electronic static.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
Taku’s actions strip back musical performance to one of its original proposals: what is an action and how does it create a situation for spending time together, for paying attention?
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.

Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
A system in which oscillators shake The Arches, seismographs pick up the harmonics that are then amplified through massive sub-bass PA.
