PS21 : Center for Contemporary Performance

Single day workshop is free and no musical experience is required.
Participants should plan on four self-scheduled mapping sessions across the year. 

Commissioned by PS21, Annea Lockwood’s Home Ground is a site-specific work acoustically mapping ten or more environments on the PS21 grounds, carried out by members of the local community. Through repeated visits participants will record the soundscapes of that site, especially at dawn and at dusk across the seasons, using audio/video recording, text, drawing, or other graphics via a sound mapping app.

The project begins with an initial workshop, guided by Lockwood, in which participants explore progressive modes of listening and start to develop a personal language to use in mapping a site. Following the workshop, participants will choose a site on the grounds from which to create their own map, committing to four self-determined listening sessions over the course of a year.

This workshop will be held rain or shine. Participants will be asked to walk to PS21 Grounds as they are able. Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
