A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.

Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.

Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
