A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
A freestyle performed conversation for bodies and voices – with the Queen of Krump, the master of Vogue Femme Dramatics and the rising star of Vogue Women’s Performance.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.

Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
