A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
As part of Karrabing’s visit to Scotland, the collective will be hosted for three days in the Isle of Skye by The School of Plural Futures.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
A joyful conversation discussing disability, gender transition and care labour as expressions of virtuosic and innovative skills that make care – good care – possible.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
