SOUNDPAINTING FOR SOCIAL IMPACT
Members of the Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble will perform a Soundpainting residency at Lehigh University to work with both students and community groups. The residency is designed to introduce Strike Anywhere to a specific set of community partners through Soundpainting workshops in order to set the stage for "POP UP: An Artistic Adventure", a larger community-based Soundpainting project in 2023-24.

| "This is a very special Ensemble and project. It's so adaptable and the pop-up style interviews on the street are an accessible, low-barrier means of interviewing, involving people, and getting a feel for a place. And with the inclusion of Soundpainting workshops and community performers in the show, it's a wraparound engagement process. As a presenting venue, we don't always get to dig into to the relationship between artists and the geographical/social realities of that place that they're coming to."
-Ally Tufenkjian Education and Engagement Manager Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth 2021 |
LEARNING TO SPEAK THROUGH THE HEART
WINDOWS AND MIRRORS is a storytelling residency book-ended by two performances. A professional storytelling show kick-starts the residency and features Strike Anywhere performers sharing true stories about pivotal moments in their lives accompanied by live music from SA musicians. Residencies pair a professional playwright and/or actor with a school or community group. The residency focuses on the elements of an engaging story, on solo performance and culminates with every participant performing their own story. A final show highlights a select group of storytellers accompanied by Strike Anywhere musicians.

SOUNDPAINTING JAM
Calling all Soundpainters, Improvisers, and Soundpainting Performers: Coming to town or live in NYC? Join Strike Anywhere Tuesday evenings for bi-weekly Soundpainting Jam Sessions.
Whether you are new to Soundpainting or an old hand, you are welcome. We will spend the first 45 minutes either reviewing signs, catching up or performing a crash course for any newcomers to the language. Then we will launch into a series of Soundpaintings as a full group. This is open to improvising musicians, dancers and actors. Strong improv background important. Bring your instrument (if you play one) and wear clothes to move in.
This is a theater studio so no backline available. Ask at front desk for studio space. Come join us for some Soundpainting - its a jubilant scene, wacky and free! Come to one, come to all. Love to have you!
