Sound(ing) Workshop with Hannah Foley

Drawing on her research into embodied and performative fieldwork practices, Hannah will guide participants through exercises toward more deeply knowing the River Derwent.

Participants will meet at Rosny Barn, where they will discuss ways of knowing, and learning from, bodies of water. They will then walk together to Rosny Jetty, where they will be led through processes of attunement, and explore Hannah’s emerging fieldwork technique of ‘sound(ing)’; a method of deep-listening, sound-generating and -gathering, that seeks to reveal unseen negotiations and relations of site and bodies of water.
Words/text collected by the artist within this workshop and will be used in the following workshop (Fluid Scoring), contributing to a collaborative installation within the exhibition.

Bring with you

Please bring a clear glass vessel that you are willing to part with (e.g. a clean jam jar with labels removed), and a mobile phone or portable device able to record sound. Please also bring your own refreshments (water to drink), wear shoes appropriate for walking and clothes appropriate for the weather.

Accessibility

This workshop involves a 40 min. return walk from Rosny Art Farm to Rosny Jetty. Participants unable to undertake this walk are invited to meet at Rosny Barn, then make their own way to the jetty by car. If you are unable to drive yourself, please contact Rosny Farm, and the artist will seek to arrange car-pooling.
