Extreme Slow Walk - Listening to the In-Between

taal: English spoken

On Wednesday 5 October both ArtEZ buildings in Zwolle will be the site of an exciting event exploring the relations between power, space and the body. Studium Generale and the master of Interior Architecture Corpo-real, will organise some groundbreaking participatory workshops. Registration is free, and participation with the right concentration will definitely enhance your freedom as well. Tune yourself to the world in extreme slow walks and other grounding exercises, both at the ArtEZ Conservatory and at the Sophiagebouw. Explore power relations in workshops (re)searching spatial, bodily and mental powers at the Corpo-real Lab.

What to expect?
We offer you some great workshops based on the work of the legendary American composer Pauline Oliveros, who spent her life exploring listening and developing community through listening. In her Sonic Meditations (1974) she developed and refined processes, in the form of text scores, to connect our inner and outer worlds through sonic attention and awareness. The concept of Deep Listening© has inspired many people worldwide.

Workshop Extreme Slow Walk
Deep Listeners Sharon Stewart (ArtEZ researcher and teacher) and Ed McKeon (curatorial producer, researcher and writer) will guide participants in an Extreme Slow Walk and other grounding exercises.

Workshop INTIMAL App
Researcher and Deep Listener Ximena Alarcón will telematically, from the UK, guide a collective experience with her INTIMAL App©, connecting participants’ movements with voices of others and themselves, listening to the in-between of real life and dreams, past and present, inside and outside worlds.

Workshop Spread Power by Space – Research by Making
In this workshop you will (re)search spatial, bodily and mental powers together with students of the master Interior Architecture at the Corpo-real Lab. Investigate the relationship between power and space. Explore the space with your body and research by making.
