ANIMAL [the listening gym] New York Performances

ANIMAL [the listening gym] arrives at Pioneer Works as a live Rock/Pop performance built around attention as a physical practice. The “listening gym” frame treats sound like training: repetition, focus, fatigue, recovery. In a city where music is often backgrounded by movement and noise, the piece stages listening as a collective act with consequences. One clear implication is that it asks the audience to notice what their habits filter out, and what gets through.
