Visual Arts + Dance

Action Painting: Anne Willieme
Dancer: Kate Walker
The Listening Project is an interactive performance piece that explores multisensory listening.
The participating audience provides the oral discourse which is then translated into visual terms by the visual artist (Anne Willieme) and into movement by the dancer (Kate Walker).
The piece explores a multisensory-media translation from language to visual and movement-based expression. The work also aims to provide the participating audience with the healing-feeling of being deeply heard.
Dancer Kate Walker
“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. ”
