Sound Design for Theatre
A professional development workshop for educators
June 20, 2023
10:00 a.m. - 4:45 p.m.
Sound Design, an umbrella term for all things related to sound, has come into its own as a design discipline like scenic, costume and lighting in the past two decades. It requires unique knowledge and skill sets, as well as study and practice, while drawing from a myriad of backgrounds and experiences the participant may already possess. This workshop will provide a survey of sound physics, system design, sound creation and collaboration in a theatrical context, along with an overview of how they relate to other aspects of a production.
Participants should bring a laptop (Mac or PC) and headphones (earbuds are fine). If possible, download the program Audacity HERE and have it ready on your laptop.
