During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
Jacobs’ pulsing and abstract 3D Nervous Magic Lantern performance grounded by Eric La Casa’s manipulated recordings of everyday locations.

In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
