One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments. From there anything could happen.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
In the Foyer at the Tramway we will screen a documentary from the Sex Workers’ Festival of Resistance 2017 and La Llamada by Eduardo Restrepo Castaño.

Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
