performance, possession + automation and various artists
In this one-off event an exciting line-up of artists explore what happens when they surrender themselves to forces they don’t control – to the rigours of technique, to an inescapable rhythm, to a secret code, or by tuning in to other powers.
Expect a day of playful experiment and serious entertainment, with food and conversation. How does it feel to surrender together?
Tickets are Pay What You Can and include lunch and refreshments.
Line-up includes: Åbäke, Gillian Dyson, Tara Fatehi, Samir Kennedy and Sean Murray, Samra Mayanja, Imogen Reeves, Eve Stainton.

Co-curated by Orlagh Woods and Transform.
