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.

Note: Though the Soundpainting language incorporates improvisation, a previous knowledge of improvisation is not required – anyone, no matter what level or ability, can participate in a Soundpainting group.

Deep Listening is experiencing heightened or expanded awareness of sound, silence and sounding.

We will explore core concepts of improvisation in a meditative atmosphere vocalists of all abilities may participate in the Deep Listening exercises during the intensive.  All styles and abilities will be welcomed in an open exploratory circle.

Some of the benefits of Deep Listening practice include expanded awareness of time and space, relaxation that supports musical activity, an expanding sense of humor, dissolution of old limits and opening to new patterns.  There will be opportunities to work in pairs, trios and in larger groups, drawing on Deep Listening practices explored in the open circle exercises.

The goal of the workhsop will be to improvise from the meditative listening in solo, small ensemble and large group ensemble configurations with a creative musical finale of presentations.
