PERFORMANCES
— shows at Zonnehuis in Amsterdam-Noord —
An evening of music, of stories, of dance, and of art, all created live right under your eyes. Soundpainting is a beautiful show for everyone, where you will travel from scene to piece, from tableau to song, and dream with a patchwork of emotions.
SOUNDPAINTING?
Soundpainting is a multidisciplinary sign-language used to compose in real time. This is the definition given by Walter Thompson, musician, composer, director and inventor of the soundpainting language. In practice, it is a tool used to communicate with an ensemble of artists in order to guide them through an improvised creation mixing music, theatre and visual arts.
For the second season in a row, Soundpainting is coming to Amsterdam with exclusive shows and regular workshops.
Save the dates: April 30 and May 1 of 2027, the Soundpainting Big Show is coming back to Amsterdam with a fantastic cast of actors, musicians, dancers and visual artist from all around the world. World-class performers brought together for one week only, an opportunity not to miss!
Pick the night you prefer, or come experience the two of them and live the full Soundpainting adventure with us!
WORKSHOPS TO LEARN SOUNDPAINTING
— EXCITING WORKSHOPS FOR ARTISTS TAUGHT BY THE ONLY CERTIFIED SOUNDPAINTER IN THE COUNTRY | FOR ACTORS, DANCERS, MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS —
Join a Soundpainting Lab and learn to perform in this world-renowned artform with your own discipline. You can come as an actor, a musician, a dancer, an artist, a singer, an acrobat and more if you combine discipline!
The Labs are open to everyone who is a practitioner of one of the disciplines—no need to know the Soundpainting language or to be familiar with it—and will focus on the syntax of the language, a specific sign family and its application in each discipline, and a time of jamming and composing together.
