Thank you for an amazing 2024 Fringe season! Stay tuned for 2025 Fringe Festival dates.
In this interactive workshop, participants will make an interface from household materials that modulates a simple analog synthesizer. The goal of the workshop is for participants to gain a feeling of access and intimacy with the signals they are modulating via a custom interface, to make an expressive interface, and to ease any discomfort or preconceived notions about who or what types of people get to work with electronics. The workshop will conclude with a performance where participants will get to "play" their instrument.
With over 100 offerings – from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more – Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime. Blaze your own trail at cannonballfestival.org.

My work situates electronic machines as a rich transferential field to explore feelings related to intimacy and attachment. Specifically, my work proposes systems of queer intimacy and relating between varying machine parts, viewers and machines, and viewers, themselves, and each other. When making work, I fantasize about electronics living and playing beyond the cycle of production and labor. I hope to offer viewers a way to interact with electronics outside the scope of surveillance and state discipline that surround electronic objects in everyday life.
