- Sound Foraging: Ardal Bicnic
Join Ardal Bicnic on their sound foraging rambles around the festival. They will be creating samples and soundscapes of all the sounds around us, using their portable sound backpacks. Come and have a look and try out their different equipment, trying out using contact mics, hydrophones, and having a go at manipulating sound loops using the pedals attached to their packs.
- Tidal: Ofelia Omoyele Balogun & Kim Noble
Tidal is a dance theatre show that underlines the importance of creating bridges and connection through ancient knowledge in challenging modern times. Join dancers Ofelia and Kim in a celebration of ancestry and feminine lineage, looking at their Welsh, Norman and Yoruba Roots to find common ground within mythology and cosmology that they translate through their bodies and dance.
- Tape That: Hands Down Circus
Tape That is a charming, light-hearted non-verbal acrobatic duet. Two performers construct a visual world using colourful tape, object manipulation and partner acrobatics. A simple roll of tape transforms from DJ decks to a spyglass, and is stretched to create physical barriers and obstacles for the performers to navigate. Tape That is a playful exploration of the world we live in; when challenges present themselves, just how many problems can be fixed with a few rolls of duct tape?
- Alright Doll: Eilidh Reilly
Alright Doll is an outdoor art installation that examines the mainstream media’s portrayal of gender-based street harassment and violence. A protest, a provocation, a divergence; the work reconnects the narrative to the female voice as it questions the myth of the unlucky woman.
