Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.

Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
