Moving Water is a two-part interactive performance conceived for free103point9's Sound Mapping event July 5, 2009 in Catskill, New York featuring Annea Lockwood's A Sound Map of the Hudson River project. The first part is a tuning of the audience-- NYSAE members will guide participants through "Ear Cleaning" exercises and help to activate their ears for focused listening to the immediate soundscape. In the second part, NYSAE conducts the audience in an improvised sound-making performance, documenting the resulting mixture of gestures and sound in the field of shared space. The audience will be split into groups and instruct each group to make sounds of varying timbre and texture around the theme of moving water. Through the listening exercises and performance, NYSAE aims to provide the audience with listening tools to take away from the event as well as preparing them for Annea's subtle and beautiful work.

Performers from NYSAE: Andrea Callard, Jamie Davis, Jonny Farrow, Todd Shalom and Andrea Williams.
