A new listening club seeks to counter the epidemic of urban loneliness through quiet, non-performative sessions of interaction
A moment from a session at the listening club
We are more connected than ever with technology, but lonelier than ever,” Ikroop Nijjar reminds us. As founder of The Listening Club, Nijjar seeks to counter this experience through listening sessions. “Why listening?
Because it is the one time we are truly present,” she says. This Saturday, she will join participants for a session, You had me at Hello! with podcaster and audio practitioner Mae Mariam Thomas. “The session is focused on voice as a means of experiencing emotion,” the founder adds.
They will explore the emotional threads of voices through prompts, but mainly listening and silence. “You don’t have to even introduce yourself, or speak; just be present,” Nijjar concludes.
ON February 21; 4.30 pm
AT Chimbai Village Theatre by JGS, Matsyalaya Building, Bandra West.
