All are invited to FESTUS, a joyful, hands-on theatrical experience from Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble, the nation's leading Soundpainting ensemble. Step into a colorful, interactive world—solve puzzles, play games, respond to prompts—then watch your ideas come to life on stage that same day!

In this live, in-the-moment “lab,” your contributions are the inspiration for a 45–50 minute Soundpainted performance. Guided by certified Soundpainter Leese Walker, the interdisciplinary ensemble transforms your stories into music, movement, and spontaneous theater using Soundpainting, the universal multidisciplinary sign language for composing in real time. 

It's playful. It's surprising. It's art in the making. Come be part of the experiment—and see what you create!

*Soundpainting was invented by composer Walter Thompson beginning in 1974 in Woodstock, New York.
