Love Learn Listen

Love Learn Listen is part of a larger dance and choral work called Moving Parts. That work was created in response to the growing polarizations about fundamental issues that friends and families are discovering are subjects they can no longer discuss together without conflict. From the question, ‘What I can do on a personal level?’, we created this song and this dance video.

Love Learn Listen is sung in a round creating 3 part harmonies. We invite you to sing along and we invite your friends and family to sing along with you. To be in harmony literally means to be in friendship and peace.
