A workshop on Soundpainting, a form of live-composing that enables classical artists to explore improvisation and interdisciplinary collaboration. Performers across music, dance, and theater work together to create the performance and composition in real time. In this workshop we would go over the basic signs and give a short performance at the end of the session. It would be an excellent way for participants of every skill level to play together and collaborate meaningfully. There are no mistakes in Soundpainting so performers of all levels can practice letting go of fear and anxiety, and focus on what they want to express. It’s a fun and immediately accessible way to begin improvising! Here is a video of a performance with all classical players. I teach a Soundpainting course and ensemble at Oberlin and the Round Top music festival, and it has been an incredible tool for opening up artists of all backgrounds.
