Research Trip in Manila, The Philippines
菲律賓馬尼拉考察之旅
05-11.12.2016
“Every special walk contains an element of an interior journey through a personal landscape.” This is one of the many ideas from Viv Corringham, artist-mentor of the 2nd edition of Mentorship Programme.
Led by Viv, artist-mentees Heidi Law Hoi-yan, Barry Law Kwok-tung, Lin Wah, Sze Ka-yan and Tung Wing-hong took a week-long journey in search of the meaning of sound and listening to their artistic creation in Manila. They stood at the Remedios Circle and listened to the busy intersection between Remedios Street, Jorge Bocobo Street and Adriatico Street with awareness; they also practiced sonic meditation along the Manila Baywalk and in the crowd of Robinson Place. Listening intensified to become embodied: feeling their weights on the ground and listening to the more distant and quiet sounds beyond the immediately loud ones, the artist-mentees worked on finding stillness and making space for themselves. It was a time for developing Pauline Oliveros’ idea of Deep Listening – i.e. listening to everything.
The artist-mentees also experienced “Shadow-walks”, a core part of Viv’s artistic practice. They paired up with a walking companion from Manila, who took them on walks that revealed the beauty of nature and the city’s heritage; other walks were stomped by heavy footsteps in endless puddles of rain. Personal stories, ideas on culture, history, tradition and places, were shared. Some artist-mentees were inspired to return to and retrace the walk on their own, while others captured the essence of the stories and places by recording the sounds and conversations during the walk.
「每一次特別的漫步都包含著探索心路歷程的元素。」這是第二屆「拜師學藝」藝術家導師Viv Corringham的眾多想法之一。
Viv帶領五位藝術家學員──羅鎧欣、羅國彤、年華、史嘉茵、董永康──於馬尼拉進行七天考察之旅，試圖尋找聲音及聆聽對他們的藝術創作的意義。他們站在Remedios Circle的十字路口細心聆聽Remedios Street、 Jorge Bocobo Street 及 Adriatico Street的煩囂；他們又沿著Manila Baywalk及於Robinson Place擁擠的人群中進行聲音冥想。聆聽得以深化成為體現：通過感受自身於地上的重量和越過最直接響亮的聲音，聆聽更遙遠及微小的聲音，藝術家學員試圖尋找平靜及為自己創造空間。這時，他們進一步研習Pauline Oliveros的「深度聆聽（Deep Listening）」概念──聆聽萬籟。
藝術家學員亦實踐Viv的核心聲音創作計劃──《Shadow-walks》，每位藝術家學員都與一位來自馬尼拉的當地同行者配對，並由同行者帶領踏上不同的旅程──有些體會到自然及古蹟之美，有些則身陷暴雨腳踏泥濘。藝術家學員們與同行者於漫步中分享彼此的故事，以及對文化、歷史、傳統及地方的想法。一些藝術家學員受到啟發，獨自重踏走過的路；一些則透過記錄沿途的聲音與對話以捕捉不同故事及地方之精髓。

Manila Research Field Trip – Public Presentation
馬尼拉考察之旅－公眾分享會
10.12.2016 @ 98B COLLABoratory
“I am hoping that we would be able to make contact with some local people in Manila… get the local people to show us places in Manila, and ask the artist-mentees to try to create pieces, sound works, or just sound ideas from that, I think that would be great. Because it’ll all then be about translating somebody else’s ideas into your own., “ says Viv Corringham.
During the public presentation, the artist-mentees shared with the audience their experience in Manila, as well as to present ideas and works developed during the research trip.
「我期望我們將能夠於馬尼拉接觸一些當地人… 讓當地人向我們展示馬尼拉的不同地方，並邀請藝術家學員以此嘗試創作聲音作品，甚至只是有關聲音的想法… 這一切將有關於把別人的想法詮釋成為你自己的想法。」 Viv Corringham說。
於公眾分享會中，藝術家學員與觀眾分享了他們在馬尼拉的聆聽經驗，並展示從考察之旅當中所發展的意念或作品。

Artist Workshop
藝術家工作坊
26–29.10.2016 @ Hong Kong New Music Ensemble 香港創樂團
“You don’t have to be a musician to enjoy sound.”
During the 4-day workshop here in Hong Kong, Viv led artist-mentees into practicing the art of listening and responding by cultivating full body listening, listening as joy and trust, as a connection with environmental conditions, and as building human community. Based on Pauline Oliveros’ idea of “Deep Listening”, artist-mentees learned to trust, enjoy and create with their voices, and how listening could be practiced as a key element to sonic meditation and vocal improvisations.
「你不需成為音樂家也能享受聲音。」
由Viv Corringham帶領為期4天的藝術家工作坊讓學員透過培養全身聆聽，理解聆聽為喜悅、信任、與環境的聯繫及社群的建立，認識到如何將聆聽及回應作為藝術實踐。透過引用Pauline Oliveros著作《Deep Listening》中的內容，藝術家學員學會信任、享受及運用人聲創作，同時經驗聆聽何以是聲音冥想及以人聲即興演出的重要元素。
