Jane Rigler (flute/electronics) is influenced by movement, languages, ancestral songs, trees and dreaming. As a certified Deep Listening© facilitator, she offers inclusive listening experiences throughout the world. Rigler thrives at artist residencies like Civitella Ranieri, Montalvo, Ucross, Hambidge, ArtOmi and Harvestworks that promote her collaborative nature. During her US-Japan Friendship Creative Artist Fellowship (2009-13), she studied Noh theatre and performed over twenty concerts in Japan. In 2016 she toured in Italy, France, Germany, Finland and Spain, offering workshops and interactive concerts with a NewMusic USA grant. In 2019-20 she explored Ireland on a Fulbright Award, where she studied Irish (Gaeilge), Sean-nós and ancient Ogham scripts for a series of new compositions based on the stones, ancient trees and landscapes. An Associate Professor at the University of Colorado (UCCS), she teaches flute, listening, Sound Art, Eco-Acoustics, Creative Music Ensemble, computer music, composition and improvisation. At Montalvo she’s working on editing her piccolo ensemble piece Arboreous Incantations, developing her new collaborative work Your Coat, Turning with Tessa Brinckman, and composing a new work in collaboration with the indigenous poets, Mikeas Sánchez and Sabino Esteban Francisco, who write in the Zoque and q’anjob’al Mayan languages respectively.
