SENTIENT: a six-part Deep Listening workshop

Session 1 . 10:00 - 12:00 . 29th Nov

Walking/Listening for place

This session will focus on listening to and sensing place (physical locations where we inhabit), and invite people to listen as they walk in a place of their choice, noticing their rhythms, emotions, using the full body awareness that follows the feet directions.

Session 2 . 18:30 - 20:30 . 2nd Dec

Making place

Derived from diaries of walking/listening for place, participants will share their reflections and compose collective listening exercises (meditations) for making place.

Session 3 . 10:00 - 12:00 . 6th Dec

Breathing/Listening for presence

This session will focus on listening to and feeling presence, experiencing breathing as a bridge between the self, the environment and others. Participants will be invited listen to modes of breathing derived from their everyday life: to feel inner presence, and to feel others.

Session 4 . 18:30 - 20:30 . 9th Dec

Feeling presence

Derived from diaries of breathing/listening for presence, participants will share their reflections and compose collective listening exercises (meditations), for feeling presence.

Session 5 . 10:00 - 12:00 . 13th Dec

In-between spaces: relational listening

This session will focus on listening to in-between spaces where place and presence merge in a set of relations. People will listen to dreams, technological bi-directional transmissions of sound, and body movement, in a telematic space to make connections with the inner self, with the ones who are physically close, and across distant locations.

Session 6 . 18:30 - 20:30 . 16th Dec

Connecting

In this session participants will share their diaries of listening to in-between spaces, the making of relations, and collectively design listening improvisations to listen to and to connect in and through in-between spaces.
