DO LOOK DOWN: EXPLORING THE MUSIC & TACTILITY OF WALKING

with C.J. Opperthauser from Friends of Congress Square Park

Saturday, May 6 at 10:00 AM

Estimated Duration: Less than on hour

In comparison to other modes of transportation, one of the main joys of walking is the enormous array of sensory experiences. On this walk, we’ll explore how different types of surfaces and textures provide different sounds, feelings, and moods—and how those relate to our shoes! Participants are encouraged to bring more than one pair of shoes (with vastly different bottom materials) to try out on various surfaces. This walk is less of a tour and more of a gently guided group experience and conversation.

Accessibility: Particular surfaces may be a bit difficult to manage for some, but all abilities are welcome to join!

Starting point: Casco Bay Lines Ferry Terminal

 

Ending point: Monument Square
