Soundpainting is a universal multidisciplinary live composing sign language for musicians, actors, dancers, visual artists and people from all walks of life – anyone can participate. Presently (2019) the language comprises more than 1500 gestures that are signed by the Soundpainter (composer) to indicate the type of material desired of the performers. The creation of the composition is realized, by the Soundpainter, through the parameters of each set of signed gestures. The Soundpainting language was created by Walter Thompson in Woodstock, New York in 1974.
