A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
The pieces in the programme switch between silent film/ imageless sound, but we wanted to have a think about how ideas can take up residency on either side of the sound/ image border, without having to inhabit both at the same time.
An introduction to gender and embodiment for cisgender folk (i.e. those whose experience aligns with their assigned gender). This will look at the ways our embodied experiences are shaped by our gender, and explore what it means to support trans siblings in practice. This session will be led by Tripod.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
For this day-long festival, sex workers and their allies from New York, the tri-state area, and Europe will gather at MoMA PS1 to debate, perform, dance, strategize & share knowledge.
A performed lecture concerned with Renaissance occult (musical) thinkers of the cosmic who put forward the notion of the “disharmony of the world”
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Perhaps the paradigm of America’s covert musical subculture, Sun City Girls operate just over the border of raucous delirium.
