Black Dog Traditions of England: Tales of phantom black dogs with ‘eyes like saucers’ abound in the folklore of the British Isles. But what are these coal-coloured fiends: shaggy dog stories, harmless spooks, or the devil himself in dog form?Folklore Tapes ensemble investigates, in an audio-visual lecture combining storytelling, light puppetry and experiments in film and music.

Lace Tells: Mary Stark explores folk song and textile production through 16mm film projection, optical sound, light, shadow and mechanical noise.

Shrouding the Frog's Bone: Arianne Churchman through ritual performance explores the practice of claiming the Frog’s Bone by Suffolk Horsemen, tracing the synthesis of magical and practical trajectories found within the custom.
