b'New Zealand-born, Brussels-based artist, Kate McIntosh, creates an improvised laboratory for unusual recordings and acoustic experiments, using everyday objects and materials. Chairs are dragged, paper is torn, glasses are toppled; sounds are recorded and played back along the way. \\n\\nAs curious scientist, mischievous questioner and eclectic storyteller, McIntosh creates a distinctive journey made of parables, fragments and jokes: of human and animal behaviour, of crowd control and linguistics, politics and group dynamics, birds and traffic jams, societies and social interactions. \\nIn the silences in between, questions arise about who we are alone and how we are together; about what it might take to change a culture, and what we might miss in the push for self-sufficiency.\\n\\nMcIntosh is fascinated with destruction and creation, sense and nonsense, the whole and the fractured. With both lucidity and off-beat humour, All Ears beautifully balances on the thin line between experiment and entertainment.\\n\\nThis postshow Q&A was recorded on Friday 4th September 2015\\n\\nConcept, Text & Performance Kate McIntosh\\nDramaturge Pascale Petralia, Tim Etchells\\nSound Design John Avery\\nLighting Design Chris Copland\\nTechnical Direction Simon Stenmans\\nProduction Coordination Ingrid Vranken\\nProduced by SPIN\\nNow score courtesy Tim Etchells'
