The Water is Clear and Still, a performance installation, interweaves Liss Fain's choreography with the spoken text of Jamaica Kincaid's sharp-edged and beautiful short story collection, At the Bottom of the River. The set—a river in a strangely eerie and surreal grove of trees—and the immersive sound environment encompass the entire theater space. Video projections of branches cover the grey Marley floor, adding texture and depth. The audience, walking at will, sees the work at close range and from multiple perspectives. The rhythm of Kincaid's writing and her descriptions that shift suddenly from gentle to harsh are the source of the movement. The dance, the spoken stories, the sound environment and the set create an intricate portrait of a woman and a place.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
