Wysing Polyphonic go online with The Ungoverned

Between 3–31 August and 5 September, there will be a programme of mixes, soundscapes, live performance and poetry readings

Cambridge festival Wysing Polyphonic have announced a major online streaming event running throughout August and into September. This year's theme is marked as The Ungoverned, and looks at ways to “deconstruct normativity through collaboration, exchange, texts, ephemeral gestures and other languages.” The programme, they say, “emphasises the importance of difference and diverse ways of communicating: the morphing of words to choreographies, soundscapes, dialects and voices.”

The first part will take place in August and will see CRYSTALLMESS, mobilegirl, LYZZA, AUDINT and Hannah Catherine Jones presenting mixes and soundscapes via wysingbroadcasts.art. Following that will be an event on 5 September with a special live broadcast of readings from Whiskey Chow, Rachel Long and Tanaka Fuego, and a newly commissioned performance from choreographer and dancer Maëva Berthelot and musician Coby Sey, both of whom are in-residence at Wysing for two weeks prior to the broadcast. That will be streamed on Twitch. Tickets are free but registration is required.
