We're so very excited to welcome our siblings from SHIFT CARDIFF into the rhomboid bosom of the Cube.

The similarities and tenuous connections between SHIFT and THE CUBE have long been apparent and, while various members and mutual friends of our collectives have made the trip across the bridge to play, experiment and perform, there has never been an official collaboration between our two worlds. Until NOW.

Ten members of the SHIFT collective will be taking over the Cube building, to work in collaborative improvisation with CUBE denizens in sound, vision and movement mediums  for an evening of chaotic and joyous, multi-disciplinary anarchism. Brand new, never seen before ensembles, meeting for the first time before your very eyes and ears. All broadcast live, for those not in corporeal attendance, over the digital airwaves of THROUGH THE FLOOR RADIO

SHIFT Cardiff CIC is an artist led, collaborative arts collective & space. 
Sharing space for production, research & development, performance and exhibitions. Since its formation in 2018, SHIFT Cardiff CIC has dedicated itself to the promotion and support of experimental music and performance art in Wales.
