Enacting the Circle engages participatory improvisation from a practice-based research perspective. The piece is meant to invite participants into modes of listening akin to those of improvising musicians, while interrogating modes of social organization based on "talent" and (dis)ability. Attendees will be invited (but not required) to participate in the event, which will include a deep listening / attunement exercise, as well as the opportunity to interact with a musical instrument called "Synthball." Synthball was designed by Quran Karriem and Becca Uliasz as a way for anyone to have the experience of playing a musical instrument without any experience necessary. Created by Professor Jay Hammond and Quran Karriem. Check back for tickets soon.
