Sound Theater is a profound experience that allowed them to listen deeply to the sounds around them. Sound Theater emphasizes the differences between listening and hearing. On the physical level, hearing is an involuntary physical act, the result of sound waves impinging upon the ear. Everyone with healthy ears can hear. Listening, however, requires cultivation. It requires noticing and directing attention, as well as interpreting what is heard.
