Marie gives workshops as a freelancer, offering the chance to work on voice and improvisation with sign languages, such as Soundpainting. Soundpainting is a comprehensive sign language for live composition, created by Walter Thompson. Nowadays it expanded to include gestures specific to actors, dancers, poets, and visual artists. My idea is to encourage musicians to renew their musical and creative inspiration, increase their skills and self-confidence in improvising, receive a multitude of enjoyable practice techniques for musical growth, and play with other creative, supportive musicians. 6th september 2011
