Summer Solstice hang out IRL and URL on 21 June
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.

This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.

The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
N30 is a massive, dynamic, immersive multi-channel presentation of front-line field recordings from the protest against the WTO in Seattle
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
