Venue: UMJ Studios, 19 rue des Frigos, Paris

Focus: Intensive Soundpainting workout — all disciplines, all levels

Instructor

Led by Claude Whipple — certified multidisciplinary Soundpainter and educator. Claude coordinates Soundpainting training and community projects in Paris, teaches at the Bondy conservatory and Paris Est University, and regularly works with Walter Thompson and François Jeanneau. His approach is hands-on: short reps, clear syntax, strong body clarity, and lots of composing/leading in real time.

What you’ll do

• Learn the core syntax (Who–What–How–When) and the most useful Level-1 signs

• Train body clarity & proprioception (neutral ↔ active box, readable gestures)

• Work on real time integrity (never drop the ball, seize the moment)

• Compose/lead short forms with immediate feedback

• Try cross-discipline setups (music, movement, theatre, visual) as the group allows

Practical info
