JUNE WORKSHOP
Make Some Noise: An Intro to Sound Design
If it's great, you rarely notice it - but it can make or break a show. How do you take what's necessary, what helps tell a story, and what pushes creative boundaries all at once?
Make Some Noise: An Intro to Sound Design will teach you the basics of transporting the audience into the world of your show, taking inspiration from live events, theatrical productions, and field recording experience.
You'll get a glimpse into how you can take a script and use sound design to add another dimension to a story. Great for people of all levels and experience to build a new theater skill!
