Scenario 1

@@Tender Space@@

People Invite women and men? only women? ask friends (Clara, Cristina, Alice), random? Make public the audio streaming at that day

Titles

Attune to the streaming

Get into the flow

Topics Topics we want to talk about

Inclusion/exclusion of public/private spaces (f.e. fear of being present in public till late, fear of talking about politics)

Quitness, enforsed silence, interruption in dialogue

Public speech (horizontal ways of speaking in public)--the nakedness of voice

Modes of adress that sounds bad for the society like

Hidden dark narratives of society, mourning, annoyance, "thrinos"

Words for how this female sound sounds like/judgments from ancient mythologies to todays assumptions (the Monstrosity…)

Reader Ask the participants to propose extracts from texts

(from: "This was bold, because almost no women in the village worked outside the home. They took care of (...) Nusra considered their voices shameful, a form of nakedness" to: "... Assad or the extremists, they barely held any ground.")

Workshop/meeeting structure

First warm up-feeling comfortable with each other (ideas: face washing, voice/breathing exercises, human microphone, deep listening of Pauline Oliveros, binaural transcription)

Reading extracts and sharing personal/collective memories/stories related to them

At the same time a streaming platform will broadcast online our conversations and we are going to listen to it in the same space. Because of the feedback loop (microphone and speaker feeding each other) the broadcast will be a flow of echoes of our voices (Cristina we can try that before together). We are going to listen to our past mixed with our present. This gonna help to feel comfortable with our voice being in public.

Our patterns will be revealed. Pay attention to them

Scenario 2

you are into the stream

Inviting to separate and walk around the area of Leeszaal. First a topic will be decided to talk about/ a damage to be repaired. Dark memories of the area will also emerge together with that topic. Personal stories in a live streaming where all of us can be online. Then we all listen to what we said. The audio file will be made by the voices overlapping but in chronological time.
