On last month’s show we featured flute improvisations recorded by Ellen Waterman outdoors in a rural waterfront location. The improvisations were guided by her physical response to the natural surroundings and were an interpretation of her instructional score Bodily Listening in Place. In today’s show Ellen Waterman will explain that score and the background and research behind it. The score draws on her research and thinking on Improvisation, Deep Listening, Signed Music and music making across all abilities. We invite listeners to contribute their own text score.
