The Flow

As we said, we are a small team. This means that when we host events, we all pitch in. You might be asked on occasion to join in with other things going on, not in this job description.

Interested? Surprise us. You can send us an email, but an audiofile or a video work as well,... be creative. Remember this is not a corporate job.
