ONLINE - FLYING FISHTANK #2
FLYING FISHTANK #2
Our next Flying Fishtank 🐟 is almost here! Join our warm, vibrant community on Sunday, April 13th, 2025 at 20:00 CET / 2:00 PM EST / 11:00 AM PST to reconnect, share, and strengthen our global network in an international Zoom meeting.
You may be asking, "WHAT IS A FLYING FISHTANK?!” 👐🐠 (🎏)
Flying Fishtank was the name given to a small online community of Thinktankers who exchanged ideas electronically following the 2009 Think Tank in Woodstock, NY. Nicole Poole & Jeannot Salvatori gleefully created the name, which has lain dormant for over a decade. Now, because “International Soundpainting Community Quarterly Online Gathering” doesn’t quite roll off the tongue as easily, we’ve revived it temporarily, while being open to your ideas!
What to look forward to:
• Connect and share: Take a moment to catch up, meet new faces, and foster friendships within our international Soundpainting family.
• Sharing the load: Through breakout rooms, we’ll brainstorm how to distribute community tasks organically (such as website updates, social media presence, etc.), empowering members to take active roles and responsibilities.
• Launch of our Telegram Community: Join our newly created thematic Telegram chatrooms—a lively space to stay in touch and collaborate between gatherings.
• Spotlight your ideas: 2-3 community members will have the chance to present a project or a special idea. If you’re interested, contact us directly by email before the event.
Your presence and participation keep our community thriving—come help shape the future!
RSVP before April 6, 2025 to secure your spot on Zoom

Col·lectiu Free't — 003 / pell i espines
This experimental theater-dance piece dissects the human duality between the strength and vulnerability that drive us. On stage, bodies reveal themselves, oscillating between tension and release, bringing us closer to the complexity of our own struggles. 003 is a sensory and impactful experience—a tribute to resilience that is, at the same time, a declaration of a living and shared identity.
