During the Soundpainting workshop, each participant will learn the basic 44 gestures as a performer and also as a Soundpainter – a composer in real time. They will learn what each gesture means, how to play it and how to sign it. After completing the first 44 gestures participants will continue learning and expanding their vocabulary and begin exploring live composition concepts with the Soundpainting language.
At the conclusion of the Soundpainting workshop each participant will be familiar with approximately 75 Soundpainting gestures both as a performer and as a Soundpainter.
The Soundpainting gestures are multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. Musicians, Dancers, Actors, and Visual Artists all equally work together in the same group. During the workshop the participants will discover how the Soundpainting language works their discipline as well as with the other disciplines.
