An evening of improvised electronic music by Jenny Gräf Sheppard (US/DK) & Marcia Bassett (US) and dance by Robin Haghi (SE), Riina Kalmi (FI), Marcia Liu (HK) and Anika Edström Kawaji (SE)

Jenny GräfSheppard (US/DK) is a Copenhagen-based sound, video and performance artist who explores peripheral places and states through composition, improvisation and participatory works. In Gräf’s music and art she invokes immersion and rupture to explore changing perceptions of diegesis and space. An active participant in the US and European avant-sound underworlds, her performances of live electronic synthesis and vocals weave sonic environments that move between song structure and avalanches of raw sound. jennygrafsheppard.com
