fred hystère, kari robertson, katherine macbride, kym ward, romy rüegger, sandra alland and transmission gallery.
facilitated by katherine macbride and transmission gallery.
28th july 2017, 11.00-17.00, transmission gallery
a day long workshop considering listening and the conditions in which we listen,
through different modes of shared experience —
breathing, moving, music, audiovisual presentations, talking, laughing —
with alison smith, anna mclauchlan, anneke kampman, kari robertson, katherine macbride, and kym ward.
each contributor will bring a range of materials/exercises/processes for us to consider and explore together as a group. Please also feel welcome (but no pressure) to bring anything you’d like the group to consider and we will make space in the day for it. The format and pacing of the day will be responsive to the needs/desires/attentions/capacities/experiences/knowledges of everyone present. Particular attention will be given throughout to collective-care and self-care.
the workshops will not be recorded in any way as this can be inhibitive of open processes of exploring complex and sometimes difficult questions together. There is no pre-intended outcome other than a desire to have some shared experiences and conversations that can nurture our present and future thinkings and doings. There will be a pdf produced afterwards and circulated on the Transmission website which all workshop participants are welcome to contribute to.

« (…) a sound in the present that will come back in the future. when it comes back it is a part of the past. thus time is expanded to past, present, and future as performance continuum.»
Pauline Oliveros about using delay. In: «Opening the Sound Field: Pauline Oliveros’ Improvisations with Magnetic Tape» David W. Bernstein
«are past thoughts behind you and future thoughts in front of you? if so, take a specific thought from either of those categories and reverse the direction. if it is a past thought for example reverse it so that you now see it as in front of you. if it is a future memory reverse it so that you now see it as behind you. now, take one of the future thoughts you have reversed and build up a memory out of it. place your consciousness inside of the future memory to experience it. take one of the past memories and reverse it as it is unfamiliar. as if you experience it for the very first time.»
