New Rituals
description: The second of Salkind's daily recordings sent over email to participants of PPL's Adaptive Practices series. The recording was published to Soundcloud where listeners could leave comments on the mix itself. Salkind prompted listeners,"While listening, consider your new patterns; your unexpected and shifting ways of being. Who are you becoming? How will the version of you that emerges from the chrysalis be different from that which went in?"

The recording was published to Soundcloud where listeners could leave comments on the mix itself. Salkind prompted listeners, "While listening to “Jubilee,” imagine what it would feel like to share the abundance of the world. What would it smell like? What would it taste like? How can you practice finding joy in enough instead of craving more?"

How People Talk/A Composition of Conversations, part one workshop video
description: "n her project ""How People Talk"" - part of PPL's Adaptive Practices series in Spring 2020 - Ericksen presented two workshops. This recording is of the first workshop which took place on Zoom, the second was not recorded by request of the artist. Ericksen's description of the project notes, ""During my PPL Creative Fellowship this year, working in the medium of sound, I've been researching something called the Linguistics Atlas Project (LAP), which was a survey conducted from 1930 to 1980 to collect information about the way English is spoken across the United States. Part of the data collected for this project includes hundreds of hours of interviews where people were prompted to say ""everyday words,” and I've been listening to parts of these interviews over and over again on my computer. For part one of How People Talk/A Composition of Conversations I’ll share recordings from these “anonymous” interviews for everyone to hear, and talk a bit about my experience of repeated listening to them, including some of the questions about the interviews and the experience of listening to them that have come up for me through the process of repeated listenings. What does it mean to record a voice? And what does it mean to be able to rewind and fast forward through that recording, and pause and play and pause and play, listening over and over and over again? What can we learn about how we use words, how we do and don't put them together in conversation, and why we make the choices we do?"" "

Tapping Ritual film series, Part 1
description: In her project "Tapping Rituals" - part of PPL's Adaptive Practices series in Spring 2020 - Keri King created three films of how her tap dancing practice evolved to meet social distancing requirements during COVID-19. Each of her films include two variations - one with voice over and one without. King's artistic statement noted, "When I first heard that we'd all be cooped up for a couple of weeks, I thought I'd hunker down at my drafting table and develop new illustration work. Instead, I've been out in the woods, practicing my tap exercises. I have absolutely no idea where I’m headed with this but the pursuit feels fresh and generative. For PPL, I will be sharing a series of short videos documenting tap dance practice in unexpected and isolated places. Through this presentation, I hope to invite library audiences to consider their own shifting relationships to public spaces and private rituals with a sense of power, possibility, and humor. Prompts for personal reflection will offer viewers the opportunity to share their own stories."
