Selected Live & Participatory Projects :
Longing Disco: This nomadic live disco event project collects narratives of desires, relating to song choices that frame personal emotional responses to loss. The narratives are documented and shared through project documentation and accessioned into the Longing Archive, a depository for the ephemera of longing while the music is shared and played in a nomadic live event.
