G.L.I.D.E. or the Great Listening In Dreams Ensemble exists to promote all sorts of events involving listening and play.

The GLIDE Manifesto

- GLIDE is a space of play, interrogation and contemplation

- GLIDE enjoys Sounding, Moving and Dreaming engaging the Voice, the Body and any pertinent form of Technology in its expression

- GLIDE takes the practice of Deep Listening as a guiding frame of reference, whilst being open to all forms of development

- A GLIDE gathering first establishes connection and from that connected place, explores improvisation, composition, text scores, sonic meditation and other expressions

- GLIDE is a space of L.O.J (Lift Off Judgment) and B.O.W.F.U (Be OK With Fucking Up)

- GLIDE is a balance of opposites - sounding and silence, moving and stillness, focused enquiry and global awareness

- GLIDE is open to all, regardless of experience

- Dreaming in all forms is to be encouraged but is not a prerequisite for GLIDE engagement

- GLIDE aims to fold into each other the role of Performer and Audience. In the words of Pauline Oliveros, Give Sound / Receive Sound
