Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
A conversation between influential figures thinking through Blackness and Indigeneity, asking: what if we took seriously the possibility that this world, as we know it, may be coming to an end? We dread the loss of this world, but have we begun to imagine the one to come?
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
How do grassroots feminist organisations strategise relationships between mothers, parents, carers and their children based on respect and empowerment, in resistance to the practice of putting children in often the most uncaring of places – care.
