Deep listening - Deep play
This workshop will begin by tuning into sonic worlds that are all around us through deep listening practices. We will reimagine how young children are experiencing sound and how this differs from the way in which our adult ears habitually listen.
The session will move onto playful practices of encountering each other through sound using voice and sound makers. We will reflect on how we might meet young children through sonic play.
Participants will be invited to wander around Great Yarmouth and collect sounds for a common piece. Finally, a set of improvised works will be created by the participants. Recordings from the workshop will be made into a festival soundwork.
