Listening Bodies: A Symposium on Improvisation and Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Friday, February 13, 2009 09:00to17:00
Elizabeth Wirth Music Building 527 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montreal, QC, H3A 1E3, CA

Presentations, Panel Discussions, Open Forum and Deep Listening Session by Pauline Oliveros

Today’s interdisciplinary scholarship requires new approaches to collaboration that promote understanding and inclusiveness instead of territorialism and authority. “Listening Bodies” brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars and artists who are exploring ways in which creative improvisation (an artistic practice based on listening and responding) can help us to learn how to be more receptive, adaptive, and risk-taking collaborators.
