Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
Jarrod Fowler and Christof Migone kick things off with performances involving edible plants, a saw, dandruff, and Christof responding to the prompt: “as far as you can for as long as you can.”
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Three speakers play back pre-recorded sounds, Marc listens and responds: “What is played is the imperfect witness of what I listen to (or maybe better, how I listen).”
