Halperin invited a small audience to the Fossil Grove for an intimate spoken-word performance, set among the 330 million-year-old fossilised tree stumps of an ancient forest. Saxophonist MacDonald joins Halperin on the fossil floor for a geological call and response.

Halperin's title, Felt Events, refers both to the term seismologists use to describe earthquakes and to an early body of work she made in 1998 shortly after moving to Scotland from New York.
