A 2-hour workshop focused on deep listening and drawing the sounds of Broomfield Park.
Join Harriette Meynell, a multi-disciplinary artist, for a creative workshop in the park.In this workshop, you'll learn how to listen closely to your surroundings and record the sounds visually and on your phone. The goal is to help you truly hear the variety of sounds the park has to offer.
Together, we'll create a visual and audio collage of the sounds of Broomfield Park. This collective sound record, both on paper and audio, will reveal the park's unique sonic landscape. We'll also have the chance to look at and discuss what we've created as a group. Some participants may find the process relaxing and meditative, and it might offer a useful listening approach for other settings.
The workshop will include a walk to different locations in the park for listening and drawing. If you need a folding chair, please bring one.
All materials will be provided. No experience is necessary.
Some listening stops may involve finding your own spot and then rejoining the group.
This workshop is suitable for everyone, but the listening exercises require quietness, which might be challenging for very young children.
Wear weather-appropriate clothes, as the workshop is outdoors (rain makes great sounds!). Bring your phone and any other portable recording equipment or microphones if you want to capture local sounds.
