Awareness Listening Workshop

To play with the sound is to hear everything as music. We can not produce sound or appreciate the silence from which sound comes from, without being ready to listen.

To listen is to take into account the directions of the sound, its proximity or its distance, its softness or its volume, its height, its direction, etc.

All these sounds simple, but one has to devote him or herself to this task of awareness listening, by removing conditioned barrier for a true listening. 

Through a series of exercises and games, the workshop will open the participants to the new dimention of sounds, sounds that are "like so many bubbles that burst on the surface of silence". (H.-D. Thoreau)

Here is an introduction of Lê Quan Ninh, "To Hear a Sound Is Always a Joy"
