Powerhouse Theater at Vassar College: "An Evening of Soundpainting"

This Powerhouse Theater 40th anniversary summer season at Vassar College features another superb lineup of imaginative and insightful plays, workshops and works-in-progress. Powerhouse has been a launching pad for emerging artists and their groundbreaking works. In fact, the 2016 Tony Award winners for Best Play and Best Musical — Stephen Karam’s "The Humans" and Lin Manuel Miranda’s "Hamilton" — both trace their roots to Powerhouse. Perhaps one of this year's productions will be the next big smash!

"An Evening of Soundpainting"

• An Evening of Soundpainting is a dynamic, one-night-only performance featuring Soundpainting creator Walter Thompson alongside an international cohort of musicians, actors, dancers, and visual artists. The event marks the culmination of the Soundpainting Thinktank, a week-long gathering of artists from over a dozen countries engaged in intensive collaboration, performance, and research. The concert will feature a series of live-composed Soundpaintings. Soundpainting is the universal, multidisciplinary sign language for live composition, used by musicians, actors, dancers, and visual artists.

• Venue: Belle Skinner Hall of Music

• Performances: July 11, 8 p.m.
