Tabula Rasa: a special free event

Service Description

TABULA RASA is a live collaborative event built through spoken word, live art, sound, projection and improvisation. Across the evening, artists and musicians will work individually and collectively, creating a temporary environment shaped in real time through drawing, music, movement, image and response. At the centre of the night will be a new body of work developed during the event itself. A collaborative art experience brought to you by Archaica Schola & Fugazi Gallery. Live art. Spoken word. Noise & Video. You're part of it. Bring something that makes art. Bring something that makes noise. Or just show up...that's enough! Come witness the birth of Chusk. All welcome!
