message not sent
by YESYESNONO
One question, numerous answers: “What’s the one thing you regret never having told
someone?” message not sent is a durational streamed performance about regret, loneliness,
and the things we never had a chance to say.
The Ashes World Tour
by Naomi Westerman/Little but Fierce
A multi-modal digital art project, The Ashes World Tour, combines digital data with audio-visual
content, and written text from an award-winning playwright, to explore themes of death, grief,
gender-based death rates, communal grieving rituals worldwide, and the importance of
memory.
Larkhall: A duet for piano and live visuals
by Larkhall
The performance sees algorithms react in real-time to live piano compositions, creating vivid
imagery unique to every performance. Witness art that listens, and then paints itself alongside
beautiful music.
Augmented Art
by Tom Shennan
Blurring the lines between the artist’s and AI’s intentions, Augmented Art, uses a disinterested
AI as a collaborator in the process of creating intensely personal videos exploring identity and
neurodiversity.
Displacement Native
by Michael-Jon Mizra
The performance finds innovative ways to represent data concerning the migrant crisis and
demonisation of Islam, using it to degrade and contort audio and visual works.
Workshops
Our headline workshop will be led by technology driven theatre pioneers Imitating The Dog.
