What do we notice, and what is the quality of our attention? How does our awareness impact our playing and performance? And what lies just beyond the frame of our habitual focus? What happens when we choose to notice more, and in more ways? Experiential conversations on sensory awareness and the practice of attention in sound-making. Drawing from the practices and teachings of Pauline Oliveros, Milford Graves, F.M. Alexander, the Princeton Open Focus Lab, and mindfulness.
