WHERE: Digital Learning Commons Design Space (MG 001 @ 420 Calle Principal)
WHAT: With an emphasis on understanding the deep complexity of the human voice and the soundscapes we live in, this hands-on workshop will explore what happens when we turn off the visual and turn up our attention to the voices and sounds around us. The session is being offered in collaboration with Barbara Ganley, a former Middlebury writing professor, and DLC expert-in-residence on community development and digital storytelling.
