Argo commissioned, curated and edited a series of short films from Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra's GIO Global telematic improvisation group. The films were catalysed by animated graphic scores, hand painted prompts and directed virtual backgrounds in works composed by Robert Burke (Melbourne, Australia), Yasuko Kaneko (Okoyama Japan), Instant Places (Laura Kavanaugh and Ian Birse, Ottowa, Canada). Also featured were site-specific pieces spontaneously arising from the travels of our regular performers, from welding workshops to hilltop sprints. Ideas that traverse domestic and performance spaces, and those that blur the boundaries of the virtual and physical space are at the heart of this programme.
