Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble brings An Evening of Soundpainting to Highland Lake. NACL is pleased to host its sister company for a week-long residency which will culminate with a public presentation of Soundpainting.

What is Soundpainting? It is the universal sign language for live composition. Comprised of over 1500 signs, the language allows a conductor/composer to sculpt a performance in real-time with improvising actors, musicians, dancers, and visual artists. The technique was created by NY composer Walter Thompson beginning in the late 1970s for use with jazz musicians. It has evolved into a multidisciplinary language that is practiced worldwide. The art of Soundpainting is a delicate interplay between the Soundpainter and the performers — a dialogue in which an improvised composition is constructed before your very eyes. 

On Friday, September 1st, Strike Anywhere will present An Evening of Soundpainting at 7:30pm. Please join us!
