Walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears – Pauline Oliveros
These sessions will each begin with an introduction to the research and work of composer Pauline Oliveros, who founded concepts such as ‘deep listening’, teaching us new ways to focus our attention on sound. Artist Leslie Deere will facilitate a chance to interact with Oliveros’ work through listening activities. This will be followed by a calming and immersive sound bath experience, where Leslie will play a variety of instruments inviting guests to decelerate and tune-in.
There will be another opportunity to attend a Sound Bath & Listening Workshop this year: Saturday 10th February – 2pm-3:30pm.
This event is for women only* (16+). There are different ticketing options based on the Green Bottle sliding scale model. All ticket money will go directly to the artist/facilitator to cover their costs of running the workshop. There are limited free tickets. To attend, please book below and we will share an email invitation with you. If you would like to make a donation to Glasgow Women’s Library, you can do so here.
*All women-only events are inclusive of Trans and Intersex women, as well as non-binary and gender fluid people who are comfortable in a space that centres the experience of women.
For this event we encourage you to find your most comfortable position to experience it. Whether that’s sitting in a chair or wheelchair, lying on a bean bag or bringing along your own yoga mat and blanket to lie on.
Glasgow Women’s Library is wheelchair accessible, with lifts to the first floor and the Mezzanine Floor. We have accessible toilets and all the bathrooms are individual closed stalls and are gender neutral. Our larger Events Space is fitted with an induction loop.
