This time they are joined by celebrated performance artist and researcher Atau Tanaka; film-makers Henrietta Williams and Merijn Royyards; and finalists of the EMPRES Prize 2020 – a call-for-works ran during the first 2020 lockdown focusing on Collaboration, Collectivity and the Digital Arts.
Individual events will be streamed nightly on YouTube through the week, all starting at 7:30pm.

This new improvisational work Crescid explores the concept of collaboration in the current moment. Melding found sounds with spoken word, the piece attempts to uncover and provoke necessary questions that we need to ask ourselves within this new normal: What are we? Who are we? How can we stay safe?
Written and recorded in lockdown, Crescid offers a vision of the new normal – where virtual collectivity can enable creativity. Crescid invites a collaborative response to the challenge.
