An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
In Our Hands is a nine week programme of workshops exploring radical approaches to health and collective care in the movement for liberation and social justice.
Joan La Barbara presents works exploring the colour spectrum of a single pitch resonating in her skull, an evocation of bird song and circular singing.
Amid the blur of erotics, the jangle of poetics, and the fetishizing of sickness and disability, the heat of Panteha’s performance and sculpture freezes all.

Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Hartmut led “a workshop in the old-fashioned way of discussion, mutual exploration of ideas and samples; trying out what can be shared and where the fault lines show.”
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
