Live in person at Performance Space New York and live-streamed everywhere! Watching Storyboard P dance feels like glimpsing into another world.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Over 3 days Episode 8 celebrates all the unruly ways we escape attempts to constrain us, tear down the walls of normative culture and build joy in flight.
Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
Julius Eastman’s Evil Nigger for 4 pianos performed by Joe Kubera, Kate Thompson, David Murray, Alan Fearon and Simon Passmore.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
Includes: a £20 note, stock fluctuations, an examination of words in the video medium, a linguistic challenge for your mind, a frame by frame dissection 50 words, shop front poetry, image and language head to head and newspapers under the microscope.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
