Walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears
— Pauline Oliveros

Facilitator: Dana Reason
$10 Suggested Donation

We invite you to listen and sound with us.
Join Dana Reason, for an introductory exploration of the components of Deep Listening® as developed by composer, artist and improviser, Pauline Oliveros. In this workshop we examine how sound shapes our daily lives; creative practices and the differences between active and passive listening. Sounding as a community, we will enhance awareness of environmental sounds, and our individual and collective voices, perceptions and vibrations, using exercises from “Deep Listening: A Composer’s Sound Practice” by Pauline Oliveros (2005). Participants are not required to have any previous musical experience. Suggested: bring a towel/yoga mat. If you play an instrument, you are invited to bring, too. We will also be exploring our breath and voices. Limited copies of the book will be available on site for purchase.
Dana Reason is a Deep Listening certificate holder.
