The Lab of Sonic Possibilities is a collaboration between Tansy Spinks and Iris Garrelfs in which they explore locations through listening and sound related activities, uncovering different perspectives on site specificity this reveals.

• We were selected for a residency at Wimbledon Space as part of ACTS RE-ACTS Festival, organised by Wimbledon College of Arts (UAL) to set up a debate about contemporary performance in fine art and theatre. It took place from 13/3/14-18/3/14 and we explored collaborative, site specific sound performance through objects and improvisation. An interactive closing event took place on 18th March at Wimbledon Space. Read the residency blog here.  You can find a film from the closing night below.
• The project started during a one-day workshop in 2013, which was transformed into my piece Object and Process.
