our first LISTENING SPACE is next sunday

Listening Space - A Resource for Makers

with Luke Pell & Rachel Gomme

Chisenhale Dance Space 2011

Listening can be a valuable resource for making work. So often we are focused on producing ‘something’ that we have no time to sit back and listen to what is already here.

Session 1 ‘Listening to Yourself’

Sunday 6th March 2011, 11am-4.30pm

£35/£28 concession

The first workshop will focus on listening to ourselves. Using a series of exercises working with stillness, movement, writing and drawing, we will explore how listening to our bodies and our thoughts can open up new spaces and act as a source for ideas and creative ways of working.

Session 2 'Listening through Touch'

Sunday 3rd April 2011, 11am-4.30pm

Fee: £35/£28 concession

Both 6th March & 3rd April £62/£50 concession

Building on principles introduced in the first workshop, we will focus on tactile encounter as a starting point for making. By listening to ourselves, each other and the spaces we inhabit, we will explore textural stimulus as a way of enriching our practice.

Rachel Gomme is a practising Artist/Practitioner, Arts Advisor her work in performance and installation, focuses on time and process as experienced in the body of both performer and viewer. She is interested in the immediate moment of performance, and to what extent it is possible to create a shared space of experience between performer and viewer.
