Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
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.
Social and party with all proceeds going to the Unity Centre, featuring DJ SETS with Dj@Christelle, DJ D-Harsh, Nena Etza & Moor Mother.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Inspired by Delany’s Aye, and Gomorra. A spookily filmic world where asexual bodies live in the contradiction of their unarousable loneliness and desire for intimacy and contact.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
