ALKISTIS DIMECH is the co-founder of Scarlet Imprint, for which she is editrix, typographer and book designer. She is a dancer and choreographer, working within the lineage of butō, a discipline and philosophy she has explored since 2002. She has performed in the UK, Europe and the United States, solo and in collaboration with other artists, notably Gast Bouschet & Nadine Hilbert, Anji Cheung, and Z’EV. In her research and magical practice, she gives a central place to the phenomenology of movement and the living body, specifically in relation to the occult. She has spoken on her work and given workshops at conferences and events in the UK, Europe and the United States. Her dance work is documented at http://alkistisdimech.com and selected writings were published last year in The Brazen Vessel.

The enigmatic WILBURN BURCHETTE burned most of his musical artifacts, but his impartiality to his own music didn’t deter its success. Creating music that resonated a cross between horror scores and Californian New Age, Burchette self-distributed on the Burchette Brothers label in collaboration with his brother, Kenneth, from 1971 to 1977.
