In Our Hands is a nine week programme of workshops exploring radical approaches to health and collective care in the movement for liberation and social justice.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
The second of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme highlights contemporary works.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
A collaborative duo performance, Anoyonodekigoto sets up a sort of negotiation between a musician, a dancer, the audience and the space we’re all sharing.
A glance at both analogue and digital processes; the clarity and precision of digital colour or the yawning, endless depth of dye and emulsion, our programme celebrates how both approaches revel in colour, saturation, hue and tone.

From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
