A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
A dismantled, performed film, where a narrator pieces together the sounds, images and storytelling of a documentary about Hurricane Katrina before a live audience.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
How do communities practice being one another’s means, addressing their material problems facing them replicating the state’s violent logic of who is disposable.
