Synopsis
Paint What You Hear is an immersive performance and workshop experience for young people.
Paint What You Hear workshops are directed by musician Erica Rasmussen and visual artist Zakiya Kurdi. The workshops use classical and contemporary music and visual art to engage young people and adults in the arts, inviting them to respond to live music using painting and drawing.
Participants listen to live musicians and respond to the music exploring lines, shape, colour and their own imagination. Children learn about the elements of music and how to represent sound through artistic expression. The workshops are engaging, fun and messy!
We are available for school holidays and weekends.

Staging
We do not need a stage, just a flat space to set up tables or paper on the floor for the participants. We do need access to power for electric bass/guitar and space for instruments and musicians. We need access to water. If outdoors, large construction fencing (3 panels) is great to suspend wallpaper for painting on, but not necessary. Basic stage dimensions would be 7m x 7m, but this is also flexible.
Transport Notes
Yes, we can travel by plane. We fit in two regular cars.
Audience & Marketing Notes
The key audience is young people. We tailor our workshops into the following age brackets:
