We use the poems of Emily Dickinson as a point of reference. We prepare our imaginations for engaging the musical traditions of the world by investigating the common ground of those traditions through performing art that is musical. The content of the course consists entirely of art, in the broadest sense, that we ourselves invent and perform. We listen to no recordings and we read no books. We are a community of musical investigators. No previous formal training in music or art is required. Those with such training will find it irrelevant to the work.
