“In 1989, Pauline Oliveros coined the term Deep Listening to describe a practice of radical attentiveness. Oliveros described Deep Listening as “a practice that is intended to expand consciousness of sound in as many dimensions of awareness and attentional dynamics as humanly possible” – as well as listening, its practice uses sound, body, breath, and movement.”

“This is what KLF is about, also known as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, a.k.a. The JAMs, a.k.a. The Timelords, etc etc . . . the band who . . . with total D.I.Y. independence, scaled global Pop heights, and transcendentally honoured a succession of maximal creative impulses. All the fucken way.”
From: WHO KILLED THE KLF?

“Join us to celebrate the final day of Adam Khalil’s and Bayley Sweitzer’s exhibition "Nosferasta" with a special screening of F.W. Murnau’s silent classic horror film "Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror" (1922). An unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) starring Max Schreck (vampire Count Orlok), Gustav von Wangenheim and Greta Schröder, Nosferatu marked the first appearance on screen of Dracula and it remains one of the eeriest of the many film versions.”

With an impressive and ever growing list of accolades (BBC New Comedy Award, Funny Women Stage Award, Komedia Bath New Act of the Year Award) Dani is taking the comedy circuit by storm.”
