The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
“Beginning where you and me ends, where we don’t so much come but are already here.” Join James and Nisha to talk about breath, erotics and flesh, about our social, poetic cosubstantiality.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
Join Umbrella Lane and special guest migrant trans sex workers in a community discussion about the points of intersection in LGBT people’s rights and sex worker’s rights.
Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
A historical narrative of the black and Latino/a transgender, bisexual, lesbian, and gay House and Ballroom Scene in relation to race, gender, sexuality and class oppressions.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
