Big Throw is a performance series and a mutating collaborative of makers and performers wary of elegance. Though any representation will simplify the foments of the mind and the world at large, Big Throw aim to work as complicatedly as they can. The evening will feature six new hybrids of spoken word, music, animation, object theatre and things without name.

His work unfolds between cross-genre sound and performance, installation, live game-engine architectures and sound sculpture.

Hugo Hagger and Evelyn Wh_ell are an artist duo working in text, performance and sculpture.

Klara Kofen is an artist, dramaturg, writer and researcher. She is the artistic director of Waste Paper Opera, a hybrid collective that creates multimodal performance pieces at the intersection of opera, technology and research. Her work is concerned with histories – speculative, counterfactual, real and imagined – and the way technological interfaces shape our relation to time and affect. Recent works include fake & extinct (Centrale Fies, 2025), Admiror, or revolutionary sentiments (Guggenheim Museum, NYC, 2024), Dead Cat Bounce – an oratorio about finance and catastrophe (Waste Paper Opera UK Tour, Eastside Projects, Nottingham Contemporary, Arts Catalyst, 2024) and 110 Fathoms (Matt’s Gallery). Her writing has been published in the anthology Catastrophe Time! (ed. Gary Zhexi Zhang, MIT Press/Strange Attractor, 2023) and by Onomatopee. She occasionally investigates international trade shows.
Neil Luck is a composer and artist based in the UK. His work often explores the pathos and interaction between live human performance and multimedia, and attempts to frame the act of music making as something curious, or weird, or useful, or spectacular in and of itself.
Neil’s work takes a range of forms from music-theatre, to concert works, radio, public projects and recordings. He is the founder and director of the music-theatre ensemble ARCO, an experimental music-theatre company.
His music has been released on several labels including Entr'acte, Nonclassical, Accidental Records, World Service, and squib-box.

O’Reilly has also written a few opera libretti, was a shift manager at The Open Arms online pub and is an editor-at-large for Cabinet magazine.
Jennet Thomas makes films, performances and installations. She creates absurdist worlds that confound straightforward readings, in the form of sci-fi folk tales, musicals and unreliable lectures. She mines connections between fantasy, ideology and the everyday, using DIY, often bizarre methods as experiments in resistance to capitalist aesthetics. Solo shows include Matt's Gallery London; Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool; Tintype and PEER, London; and festivals/museums such as IFF Rotterdam; European Media Arts Festival; New York Underground Film Festival; Tate Britain, MOMA New York. She is Reader in Time-Based Media and Performance at University of the Arts, London.
angela wai nok hui is a percussionist and sound artist. She uses sounds that are not meant to be, childhood-like sugarcoating to frame and tell the true story of the living, uses sonic elements to bring attention to the phenomena of activism and self-love with a bitter aftertaste.
