This COLLECTIVE READING is stretched out over two evenings - we highly encourage you to take part in both, but it is also possible to join just one evening.
These two collective reading sessions are facilitated by Tanja Hylling Diers and will be focusing on the practice of Deep Listening through the reading of Quantum Listening and Sonic Meditations both by Pauline Oliveros.
The two evenings will together give an entrance to Pauline Oliveros' thinking and doing, especially how listening can be a foundation for a life practice as well as an artistic practice. We listen while reading. We will also get familiar with elements of the deep listening practice
"Quantum listening is listening to our listing" Pauline Oliveros, Quantum Listening, 2022 [2010].
At this second evening we will focus on Sonic Mediations through which we will embrace ourselves in deep listening and reflect on how it corresponds with our experiences, bodies and minds
"I use the word meditation, rather than concentration, in a secular sense to mean steady attention and steady awareness, for continuous or cyclic periods of time." Pauline Oliveros, Sonic Meditation, 2022 [1971]
The first evening which takes place 18th November will mainly focus on the reading of Quantum Listening.
Texts:Oliveros, Pauline: Quantum Listening, 2022 [2010], Ignota Terra Books. Oliveros, Pauline: Sonic Meditations, 2022 [1971], PopandMom Publications
ABOUT TANJA HYLLING DIERSTanja Hylling Diers is a PhD student at Lund University and Malmö Theatre Academy, where she is developing her project "Who Cares?" - an embodied practice centered on care and listening. Her work spans dramaturgy and creation in the expanded field of performing arts, drawing inspiration from documentary methods, opera, choreography, electronic composition, and performance.
ABOUT COLLECTIVE READINGCollective Reading is a format where we read together. We invite an artist or teacher to open up and play with the way we read: What happens when we read collectively, physically, or guided? Is it possible to find a new way to read and engage with texts, different from how we have done before?
