WORKSHOP
Inside outside sound: Intuitive sound lab
Inside outside sound: Intuitive sound lab
When: Tuesday 15:15- 16:45
Where: Outside (meet in the Lobby)
An exploration modalities for sound-making and dialogue that might include the intuitive, the beyond-rational and the feeling.
If we admit that our voices and dialogue have become dominated by the culture of ‘Logos’ and the rational (even in song)*, what would it mean to begin exploring voice and conversation that is rooted in other places, such as the body, the imaginal and the intuitive – maybe even a voice that can dialogue with the more-than-human? This workshop will be a shared space of research suitable for the ‘sound shy’, as it will offer scores to take out into the landscape to start exploring as quietly and privately (or not) as you wish, with a chance to share our findings. There will also be a chance to do lots of listening, if that’s more your mood.
*This workshop is in dialogue with Ann Carson’s essay ‘The Gender of Sound’ and seeks to begin to disarm some of the judgment that is embedded in our culture regarding how the voice ‘should’ be used.
