March 27- Listening

"Getting heard is more (powerful) valuable than your ego."
"I'm not into reactions. I'm all about the future tense."
Listening to music and video
Keith- studying lived experience and resistance
Sharoon- contested spaces, lived experience- AIDs in Africa- women, resistance- age. The song asked for something to help. THe book was looking for postive outcomes from research.
Liz- "Tis a Gift"- about 12 different versions, each beautiful, each showing a new perspective on the same song.
Najendra- "What flower has bloomed in the riverbed? The entire riverbed is bright."
Anuja- What is orientalism if you are from the "orient?" Does it become something you play or something your audience hears? Or is it an expression of yourself?
Suzanne- drums (brave debut), trumpet, pop culture, orientalism and reverse, scapes and spaces.
Mandy- Me- lived experience, discourse. The different songs interacting with each other and with the listener. Naming, resistance, scapes.
