Attention EDUCATORS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS, ARTIVISTS, and PERFORMERS!

Join Leese Walker for Tuning In: Soundpainting for Leaders and Creators, a 4-part masterclass designed to help professionals in education, advocacy, and activism harness the power of improvisation to become more effective, adaptive leaders.

In this course, you'll dive into Soundpainting, an interactive sign language for interdisciplinary improvisation. Learn how to break down communication barriers, build trust within diverse groups, and shift dynamics in any real-world situation. Over the course of 4 weekly sessions, participants will receive an introduction to the methodology of Soundpainting, reinforced by hands-on application with members of the world-renowned Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble.
