A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties. Watch out for Kren’s structural, throbbing investigation of a forest and Baillie’s intimate and humble essay on a blind guitarist and the relationship between songs of Mexican revolutionaries and the people and places they looked to inspire.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
One of the most incessantly experimental musicians in the UK, Youngs’ aesthetic is entirely unique, never really part of any scene [whilst influencing many], steadfastly unafraid and honest
Improvising using nothing so much as the passage of time as his instrument, Basinski creates works of great melancholic depth and fragile beauty.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
