Workshops in deep listening will be led by artist research and PhD in Music Technology and Innovation Ximena Alarcón and musician and psychotherapist Morten Svenstrup, both are certified Deep listening tutors.

PROGRAMME
----------------
9:30–10:00: Arrival and introduction
Coffee and fruit. By facilitator Tanja Hylling Diers
10:00–12:00: Workshop: Playful Listening
By Deep Listening Tutor, Morten Svenstrup
In this workshop we are going to explore how listening with our beautiful ears, movement with our beautiful bodies, and exploring physical space together, can be a fun and meaningful experience.
At the heart of Deep Listening lies a big invitation to everyone to explore their own unique way of listening. And to try out new ways of listening, that might be more unknown, too! To do that in an easy-to-follow way, we will explore a few playful oriented Sonic Meditations (sound-oriented exercises) that invites the group to listen in certain ways - and to interact on the physical and sounding levels of reality. Some will have a more individual approach; others will have a group focus. In other words - you are invited to listen in certain ways for an extended period of time.
Drawing from those sensory grounded experiences, we’ll have a treasure throve of different listening experiences, that all participants will be invited to share with each other.
NB! Wear comfortable clothes that you can move and listen in.
12:00–13:00: Lunch

15:00–15:30: Coffee and Fika
15:30–17:30: Workshop/lecture: Listening deeply to Sonic Migrations
By Deep Listening Tutor, Ximena Alarcón-Díaz (online from Colombia, Universidad de Antioquia)
In this workshop/lecture, offered in a hybrid format, I will invite attendees to listen deeply to sonic migrations: the resonances left in between the borders we cross when we tune in and meet others across distant locations. This, through sonic meditations, body movement, dream awareness and vocal improvisation derived from Deep Listening® practice.
Along with the exercises, I will reflect on how Deep Listening has informed my artistic research, leading me to compose immersive listening collective experiences for sensing place and telepresence, rooted in the context of human migration. Specifically, how listening in dreams and telematic performance, have become metaphors and vehicles to access interstitial sonic spaces, transmitting the emotional embodied experience of migration.
Departing from questions such as how does the body becomes an interface that keeps and transforms memory of place, in the context of human migration and furthermore, how can people improvise and transmit a full emotional body experience with non-screen-based interfaces, I will share the experience of creating interfaces for relational listening - INTIMAL, the INTIMAL App©, and the surround sound installation UNRAVELLING, as listening environments for improvisers and audiences to immerse in dreamlike spaces to tune in and connect with themselves, the environment and others, across time and space.
