This course introduces students to the theory and practice of theatrical sound design, with additional relevance to sound design for dance, film and television. The course cultivates sensitivity towards the expressiveness of sound and the relationship between time, sound, actors, visuals and narrative. Through script analyses and design projects, students learn the power of sound–including music–in enhancing stage presentations, acquire skills in creating sound worlds and apply those skills to collaboration with the production team. Through hands-on exercises in the lab and in the theatres, students also become familiar with recording, editing, organizing and playback of sound. Enrollment limited to 12.
