In Point to B, Brecht Vandenbogaerde bundles his artistic and educational work, with sound painting as its beating heart.
Brecht offers soundpainting workshops tailored to everyone's needs and collaborates with artists who would like to delve deeper into the language.
Soundpainting is a universal multidisciplinary sign language for live composition for musicians, actors, dancers and visual artists. The language was invented in 1974 in Woodstock, New York, by Walter Thompson while he was standing in front of his orchestra. The interaction between all performers and the soundpainter is always particularly intense. With more than 1500 signs, the soundpainter can on the one hand have very concrete content in mind and on the other hand look for interesting ideas from the performers, which can be further developed. From musical novices to professionals, performers of all kinds can participate. In soundpainting, everyone can be completely themselves... or not at all...

SOUNDPAINTER - PERFORMER - MUSICOLOGIST
As a horn player, Brecht collaborates on various projects. He also does not shy away from seeing his role as a performer in a broader sense and likes to think outside the box. Experimenting with electronics, discovering new styles and thinking across different domains fascinates him enormously. And what if the audience becomes the performer?

SOUNDPAINTER - PERFORMER - MUSICOLOGIST
Musicologist Brecht sets himself the goal of making people listen to music differently. The focus and challenges are mainly on music from the past 100 years. However, he also enjoys delving into classical repertoire and making connections with other art forms. After an interactive concert introduction or lecture, music history will undoubtedly be in a different perspective.
Kunstacademie Halle and De Academy Londerzeel are home to Brecht's educational activities. He is a teacher of horn, MCV, music creation, cross-domain initiation and music history for young and old.
