Sadness Survey needs you
I think a lot about sadness.. the happy kind, the tragic kind, the vulnerable kind... I write about it, too. And sing about it. And I talk about it... sometimes. Because people don't always like to talk about sadness. Why not? I don't know. So, I'm exploring that and I;m exploring sadness in general - an alternative research project, so to speak. I'm going to include some of my findings in an audio piece I'm making as a participant in the Centre for Art Tapes Media Arts Scholarship Program. It's somewhat of a docupoem.
So, if you want to take the time to answer some of my questions, that would be quite wonderful. Any of your feedback that I end up including in my audio piece will be anonymous (although I don't know how to make your comments on my note anonymous on facebook and only for me to see.. if you want to answer the questions but don't want others to read your answers, please feel free to write to me in a provate message). And I will only be using bits and pieces of what I can collect here, in a sound mosaic.
Les questions:
1. What is sadness?
2. What does it feel like?
3. What makes you sad?
4. What do you do when you're sad? Where do you go? Who, if anyone, do you talk to?
5. Do you find sadness easy to talk about? Difficult? Why?
6. What does sadness sound like?
7. Do you cry? Do you cry easily? Do you cry often? What does that feel like?
8. When was the last time you cried? What did you cry about?
9. When were you the most sad? Why?
10. What are the different ways you experience sadness? Can you put a name to them (ex. tragic sad, tender sad, beautiful sad, depressed sad...)?
11. Do you enjoy sadness at all, ever? Why or why not?
12. Comments, extras: please feel free to include any extra points you want to make here about sadness. Or answers to questions I never asked. Or comments or little stories. I would love to hear it..
Thank you for taking the time to write about this. I very much appreciate it.
