Harnessing Collective Creativity: Soundpainting Workshop with Nicole Poole
Date: Wednesday – October, 24 2018 Time: 2:00pm - 4:30pm Room: Holloway House Track: Artists
In this unique workshop, participants will be immersed in a world of collective creation through “soundpainting,” a revolutionary compositional sign language developed to structure multidisciplinary, collaborative improvisations. In its basic form, through gesture, a composer, or “soundpainter,” relates to a group of performers who then perform their interpretation of the gesture. The resulting composition is uniquely collaborative. Bring your instruments or use your imagination and bring anything that can make a sustainable and repeatable noise of any kind. Use the conference theme, “Panchromatic,” as inspiration for vocal material such as “Purple Rain” or “Yellow Submarine.” Visual artist? Bring color to create a visual sound. All participants will be given a packet containing the basic soundpainting gestures to bring back to their own communities. Fast-paced and fabulously fun, performers and “civilians” alike will lend their talents to create the Oklahoma Arts Conference’s first-ever collaborative orchestra!
