A full weekend of events curated by Nat Sharp, Fka Lone Taxidermist to celebrate black and queer voices bringing intersectional dream utopias and experimental culture right to the front. Expect DIY dancehall, clattering jungle, fanny bass to extreme-pop, slipknot samples, 250bpm gabba Donk and way more besides!!
A relentless and brave experimental artist, Sharp makes textured, immersive and starkly original works; mashing up performance, theatre, film, music, makeup, costume and video; there are no limits. Enmeshed in underground & overground networks of some of the most original and cutting edge artists in the UK & beyond, she knows what going on in D.I.Y culture. Which is why we invited her to do a weekend takeover of artists that she has sniffed out, a kind of dream curated line up. Here is what she chose…
FRIDAY LIVE // 8PM
Grove + CURRENTMOODGIRL + chizu nnamdi
Shine your light and rise up in celebration of Black and queer voices for a night of sensual but hard, industrial yet romantic divine sounds from chizu nnamdi, laconic industrial bondage & real sexiness from Current Mood Girl concluding with Grove who spits out sensuous vibrations and fierce rap into the queer stratosphere. There will be Pole Dancers, flora and Fauna…
SATURDAY LEARN & DO // 2 – 4PM // LIVE DEMONSTRATION WITH Q & A
Learn more about the performance artist Natalie Sharp, aka Lone Taxidermist.
Natalie Sharp will talk about how she composes in Ableton, introducing the tools and methodologies she uses explaining how she weaves her ideas into pieces.
This will be followed by a Q & A with fellow Geordie Jimmy Martin, Co-director of Supernormal and axe yielder with Teeth of the Sea & Angel Witch.
SATURDAY CLUB // 10PM
A facefull of full frontal animal magic with spectral bpms from Gabba to soul via R&B to dancehall. DJ sets from Nat# herself and Katie Hesska who is equally comfortable crafting atmospheric ambient openers and relentless, thumping closers, bringing us forward-thinking club sounds and intense rave tracks. Her sets are a masterclass in gelling seemingly disparate genres through fast, innovative mixing. Illusive & private performer Croww brings a fierce live set to the mix. There will be a donkey. Don’t miss this.
