Home Live Art is currently supporting performance duo Sex Music on the development of their new work to premiere in 2021.

Sex Music is a music and performance collaboration from artists Catherine Hoffmann and Florence Peake.

Formed in August 2016, these brazen eroto-clowns will revive you from your tinder induced torpor with their dildo beats and goddess grime – all in the name of Fem DIY.

Recent performances have included the Moth Club with Cardinal Burns, Wilderness festival, Latitude festival, The Tom Theatre, Margate, Duckie London and our very own Knotty Performance Festival in Hastings.

Below are some past videos and images to get you in the mood:
