Arika is working in partnership with Decriminalised Futures on a multi year collaboration featuring multiple creative projects exploring sex worker lives, experiences and movement struggles.

A recently reanimated Ascension, with mighty Leeds drum hero Paul Hession bringing a dense polyrhythmic torrent into play with Jaworzyn’s reinvigorated piercing guitar.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
