Deep Listening® Workshop
Explore the sonic awareness practice of Deep Listening with composer & musician Owen Hopper
Deep Listening® is a sonic awareness practice developed by composer, performer, and
humanitarian Pauline Oliveros in the 1970s. It explores the difference between the
involuntary nature of hearing and the conscious nature of listening through three
modalities: Listening, Bodywork, and Dreamwork. Through body exercises, sonic
meditations, interactive performance, and listening to the sounds of daily life, nature,
thoughts, imagination, and dreams; It cultivates a heightened awareness of the sonic
environment, both external and internal, and promotes experimentation, improvisation,
collaboration, playfulness, and other creative skills vital to personal and communal
growth.
A Deep Listening® workshop is a 3-hour event that provides a thorough introduction or
continuation to the practice of Deep Listening® as it was developed Oliveros. The
workshop gives both theoretical overviews of the core concepts of Deep Listening®
philosophy, as well as hands-on experience with the practices through guided
movement, sounding, listening meditations, and dream work.
Owen Hopper is a certified Deep Listening® facilitator through The Center for Deep
Listening, as well as a composer and improvising musician. He discovered Deep
Listening® practices over a decade ago and has been influenced by the powerful
outcomes in both his artistic practices and personal life. He leads Deep Listening®
Workshops both in-person and online.
