þ thorns þ proposes to think with the affordances of postdisciplinarity and the choreographic. This series seeks to set in motion the possibilities of the podcast as choreographic form, score and modality, as well as haptic space for glitch and grain. This series privileges prompts over topics, verbs over nouns, soft tissue over hard tech, and phenomena over “thing”. Importantly, these are open-ended conversation pieces, experimental dialogues, remote contact-improvisations and conceptual playgrounds, not interviews.
Guest speaker pairings are conceived out of radical associativity, where knowledges and non-knowledges, somatic practices and techniques of living are brought into experimental proximity, constellating themselves through intra-action along the way.
As part of the ongoing imagination of the School we are compiling a glossary of words that artists are using to refer to the choreographic. Every time we invite people to collaborate with us we also invite them to donate to the glossary, hosted on our website.

This episode is a conversation between artists Wu Tsang and Tosh Basco. Wu is an award winning filmmaker and performance artist, whose works explore hidden histories, marginalised narratives, and the act of performing itself. Tosh is a multidisciplinary performance artist and photographer, whose work enfolds language, becoming, and representation together; within spaces where these are typically understood as discrete entities.
In the conversation, Wu and Tosh discuss their collaboration, emphasising relationality and care in times of crisis. They reflect on their various works exploring life, death, and rebirth. They touch on the impact of capitalism, societal collapse, the fluidity of identity and memory. This conversation was recorded in a studio in London.
