What is a SOUNDwalk? In a SOUNDwalk, the listening “audience” moves through a place and the environment “performs.” The walking listener and the environment create a unique piece together that can only occur during the time of the walk. In a SOUNDwalk we take the time to hear the environment: we are its true ear witnesses. And like any musician, the environment offers us its sounds for our consideration.
Laurier Woods Soundwalk
Louise de Kiriline Lawrence Nature Festival
August 17, 2024, 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Laurier Woods, North Bay. Meet in the Parking lot at the end of Brule Street (just off Franklin Street).
FREE
Explore the sounds of Laurier Woods during the Louise de Kiriline Lawrence Nature Festival by taking a SOUNDwalk with NAISA Artistic Director Darren Copeland.
A SOUNDwalk is a walk you can do anytime of day, in any location, and with any number of people. All that you have to do is walk very slowly and quietly, direct your focus to your listening (rather than to your visual sense), and not talk or use any devices. With that change of focus sounds commonly heard might take on a different quality. Open to all ages.
The Louise de Kiriline Lawrence Nature Festival is organized each year by the Friends of Laurier Woods, North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority, and the Nipissing Naturalists Club.
