This Saturday workshop will open up our ideas of what it means to listen, to hear, and to sound.

Discussion will include topics such as the basics of psychoacoustics and the perception of sound, the limits of silence, sound beyond human perception/scale, and sound and the body.

Participants will engage in a range of exercises in sounding and listening, and will be introduced to core ideas and practices relevant to the question: "What does it really mean to listen?"

This workshop is suitable for anyone with a body.
