SUMMARY:Liner Notes: Inside the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio — 'Machine Head'
DESCRIPTION:Liner Notes: Inside the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio is part storytelling tour\, part listening session\, exploring the legendary albums recorded in the “Sistine Chapel of rock ‘n’ roll.” Step back in time and experience Machine Head as it was recorded through the RSM. \nConceived by Rolling Stones tour manager Ian Stewart and built in 1968\, the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio (RSM) helped redefine how—and where—albums could be made. For this session\, we turn to Machine Head by Deep Purple\, a landmark album born out of disruption\, famously recorded in Montreux after a fire at the casino forced the band to improvise its recording setup. That moment of chaos became legend in “Smoke on the Water\,” which directly references the Mobile Studio parked outside the burning venue and the band capturing ideas in real time as the scene unfolded. Across the record\, that intensity does not let up\, from the unstoppable momentum of “Highway Star” through to the explosive\, sprawling charge of “Space Truckin’.” It is a band completely dialed in\, pushing volume\, precision\, and urgency right to the edge.

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop: Experimenting with Paper and Fabric
DESCRIPTION:This workshop expands the cyanotype process onto several kinds of paper and fabrics\, using the different materials to create different results. Using both botanical materials and photographic imagery\, participants will explore how light\, texture can create different results to your cyanotype prints.You will learn which fabrics and papers work best for cyanotype printing\, and which to avoid\, while being guided through the full process of preparing the surface\, arranging compositions\, exposing prints\, and developing final results. Through a series of small studies\, participants will build a collection of samples that highlight the unique qualities of cyanotype on cloth.After experimenting we will print a composition in a mini canvas bag\, that you can take home to store the samples we created. \nAll materials are included – but you can bring flowers and leaves!  No experience necessary.

SUMMARY:Her Whispers Were Always There
DESCRIPTION:A soul travels down to Earth and is split by the Infinite Shadow. Soul needs to find their other half in order to manifest the soul mission of the Changeover – Limitless Light taking over the Infinite Shadow. Infinite Shadow keeps trying to prevent this from happening\, using the Trauma Spirit and Soul Consuming Succubi to prevent this. The unborn child soul\, spirit guides\, past lives are all guides for the souls to connect. The Souls connect through music\, orgasm\, ecstatic movement\, and the Divine Cord slowly magnetizing towards each other. However\, will they meet\, or will the Infinite Shadow keep them forever-isolated and forever-drained by the Trauma Spirit and Soul Consuming Succubi? \n Weaving together live music loops\, poetic sound art pieces\, video art projections\, ecstatic movement and storytelling\, this is an epic romantic spiritual fairy tale that is a holy\, unique\, awe inspiring and moving theatrical experience. \n Playwright: Eli Matilda Ridley Director: Eli Matilda Ridley Cast: Eli Matilda Ridley \n Content Advisory: Subtle references to sexual abuse\, Adult Language\, Subtle reference to birthing trauma (stillbirth)\, Sexual Content\, Spiritual trauma references\, Subtle references to violence and suicide.

SUMMARY:BYOB
DESCRIPTION:Madison’s baby shower was supposed to be calm\, classy\, and chaos-free. Instead\, she’s dodging her drunk best friend\, bickering aunts\, an intrusive neighbour\, and an unexpected stripper. As uninvited guests arrive\, her hopes for the party unravel faster than the streamers. Between baby games gone wrong\, family secrets flying like confetti\, and spilled drinks\, Madison hits her breaking point. But in the aftermath of the chaos\, fallen cake\, torn streamers\, and emotional meltdowns\, Madison’s unconventional tribe pulls together.
