APST 813 - Soundpainting: Collaborate and Create

HC CNDP

2 credits
Soundpainting is an interdisciplinary live composing language for music, dance, and theater. The soundpainter stands in front of the group and uses physical signs to create the composition. There are no wrong notes, movements, or words. This class will help you develop tools to thrive as a 21st-century artist including: improvisation, interdisciplinary collaboration, composition, decentralization, inclusion, and a focus on expression and fun! Participants will mostly perform within the ensemble, but will also have time to soundpaint/compose themselves near the end of the semester. Explore your inner creativity with artists from across Oberlin’s diverse artistic community. Open to dancers, musicians, and actors. All experience levels and backgrounds; no experience improvising is needed. May be repeated for credit.
