TARA CLERKIN TRIO (DJ set)

The band that needs no introduction will be keeping things steady throughout the evening as in-house DJs.

AND IN THE SOIL, THERE BE MIRRORS

A collaboration between filmmaker Sam Williams and dancer/performance artist Hollie Miller. Set across a selection of historical locations in the English landscape, the work responds not only to the architecture and former life of these sites but also counteracts a heritage version of the landscape with a Gothic and mythological vision. A series of figures whose traits are drawn from nature and English folklore inhabit the site, possessing a sense of the uncanny and discarding the pastoral, nostalgic images of the countryside that people hold on to.
