Through a series of solo and ensemble games and exercises, we will trace the power of inner and outer gazes to spark discovery in the body and imagination. Engaging with tempo, weight, and the senses, we will dig into found scores of habitual actions and experiment with narrative, improvisation, and impulse within a space of ritualized communal play.

Via breath filtered through the flute, we will flow through outer and inner sound worlds, from musical reflections of the current planetary configurations to sounds (and quietude) that draws our attention to our own bodily sounds.

How might we differentiate between hearing and listening, and is it possible to cultivate different modes of listening? In what ways can “hopeful listening“ inform a healing practice and help us navigate the world?

With a focus on its repetition and disruption, we will discuss the sounding and listening body in all its materiality, with case studies on breath work in Sufi practice, laughter, and health obsessive compulsive disorder.

Journey through an alternate sound bath universe, replete with synthesizers and drones. Let us be immersed in the looping vibrations. In dissonance, may we face and phase out of past and present pain.
