Sound artist and percussionist Germaine Liu, with her Imaginary Percussion Ensemble collaborators (Joe Sorbara and Mark Zurawinski), invites participants into a group experiment to build sonic/physical worlds together using Liu’s collection of found objects and readymades. In this SESSION, qua “playtime,” Liu leads participants through a series of prompts that reconsider the interdependencies that constitute togetherness.

This SESSION asks us to be active witnesses and listeners to one another and to pay attention to moments of synchronicity/asynchronicity, singularity/plurality. In emphasizing play and deep listening, Liu suggests that how we negotiate, take, coordinate, relinquish, share, and be in space together is the seed—the “how”—of learning where we are and how to be.
