A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.

This trans-exclusive workshop, co-facilitated by River McAskill, River Molloy and Zinzi Buchanan, offers body-focused exercises and creative practices for a trans-exclusive space, situated within the present local and global climate. We will bring an array of offerings related to the question: how can we take care of ourselves and one another, when we can’t trust state systems to take care of us? Come as you are and bring anything that adds to your comfort.
