Co-Listening

with DOTE artist-in-resonance Ian Nesbitt

DOTE invites you to join us in a year-long co-enquiry into deep listening as a transformative collective practice. Each month throughout the calendar arc of the festival, artist-in-resonance Ian Nesbitt holds space for listening to each other and our environments, framing the practice as ‘co-listening’. Co-listening focuses on transformative listening by freeing participants from the need to respond, and to listen for understanding rather than agreement. The co- prefix could refer to those beings we share space with, human or otherwise, or nod towards principles such as co-operation, co-llectivism, and co-mmoning.

In resonance with our upcoming program for DOTE year of listening, from April 2022 until June 2023, we introduce these as freeform sessions with no anticipated results, which may offer participants space for deeper collective consideration. This generative and communal process underpins all of Ian’s work with DOTE throughout the festival year and you are all warmly invited to be present.
