The Berlin and the Swedish Soundpainting Orchestra devote themselves to the musical and literary œuvre of Erik Satie. By means of Soundpainting language they explore the radical and humorous aesthetics and deliver a complex conception of this eccentric composer. Inspired by the absurd theater, the production design is made up of a mixture of the fashion and art of the fin de siècle as well as contemporary influences.

Soundpainting is a multidisciplinary live composing sign language created in 1974 by Walter Thompson. The language comprises today more than 1200 gestures that are signed by the Soundpainter to indicate the type of material desired of the performers.

Last November, Mike Meyer (USA) and Ash Bishop (UK) were in Berlin for the Premiere of the well attended “Sign Painters” movie at Urban Spree and delivered at the same occasion a very successful brush lettering/sign painting workshop for 2 entire days.
After the success of this initial workshop, Make! Skilled Hands are luckily organizing a second session with the same duo of craftsmen. The 2-day session will be held once again at Urban Spree and we advise you to book your seat fast as the attendance is limited and the demand high.
All info are on the Make! Skilled Hands’ blog here.
Julia Benz finished the hanging of the huge Triptychon and is now starting the mural on the wall next to it. The process is opened to the public and you are welcome to come by and watch.
