Deep Listening Dreams
Led by Salty Xi Jie Ng + Crystal Sasaki
This workshop explores dreams as a form of listening, drawing from IONE’s Listening in Dreams, Oliveros’s Quantum Listening, Ng’s ancestral dreamwork, and Sasaki’s somatic movement work. Through sonic meditations, including vocalization, interpretive movement, reflective conversation, writing, and drawing, we will explore connections between the dreaming being, the listening body, and collective experience.
Deep Listening, as developed by Pauline Oliveros, IONE, and Heloise Gold, is an embodied practice engaging sonic attention, heightened awareness of external and internal environments, improvisation, and playful creative skills vital to personal and community growth.
Participants are encouraged to take note of their dreams in the days leading up to the workshop. We work with an expanded definition of dreaming; you do not have to recall your night dreams. This workshop is for anyone who is curious, no experience needed, movement will be minimal.
Salty Xi Jie Ng is an artist, performer, educator, and akashic records practitioner from Singapore, living between there and Portland OR. Her transdisciplinary practice is an enchanted, alchemical site intimately exploring eroticism, ancestry, the end-of-life, and spirit worlds. She created the Ancestor Dream Visitation Repository, hosts Ancestor Dream Circles, and is the 2024 recipient of the Chamberlain Award for social practice artists.
Crystal Sasaki is a Yonsei Butoh dancer, performance artist, and somatic educator living in Los Angeles. Her practice begins and ends with improvisation, excavating internal and relational terrain in pursuit of raw presence. Through movement and audiovisual poetry she explores intuitive states, archetypal entanglements, and human/nonhuman transformations.
Salty + Crystal are long time friends, collaborators, and certified Deep Listening facilitators through the Center for Deep Listening.
