Strike Anywhere teaches the community that theatre can take many forms, and it makes us engage with our own community at large. - Dartmouth Student, 2021

  • The Dartmouth Arts District must prepare for a two-year renovation period without access to familiar spaces including performance venues.
  • This Workshop is designed to introduce students to new ways of devising and presenting original work.
  • How can performance be made and presented? Ideally, Theater students will work with students from the Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Music, Dance, Film, and Studio Art departments and with Strike Anywhere to create an interdisciplinary performance.
  • All participants will learn 40-60 Soundpainting gestures and will present a set of site-specific Soundpaintings. These Soundpaintings will explore our community's current relationship to the Hopkins Center building and its hopes for the future complex.
  • Leese Walker (Dartmouth '91), the company's founder will lead the movement/improv, and Rolf Sturm will lead the jazz/wind/music - https://www.rolfsturm.org/
