A participatory performance on the outskirts of the Saint Lawrence River

---

We Carry the River is a one-hour, site-specific participatory performance event. Inspired by Pauline Oliveros’ Worldwide Tuning Meditation, participants will be guided in a listening/sounding performance to help attune to place.

This participatory performance focuses on the development of environmental listening skills to foster a collective, affective response to what is heard. The event is accessible to people with limited mobility. If you have special needs, please contact the organizer in advance so that these can be accommodated.

The event is open to all, and participation is completely voluntary.

This work was created by multimedia and performance artist Natalie Doonan, a co-investigator member and professor in the Department of Communication at the University de Montréal. This project is part of the Chantier Ecotechnologies.
