2:45pm // speigel theater SFAB open forum // April 28th. 

Farthest away sounds — hum of the ebb and flow of traffic, the occasional siren, shuffling of speigel seats. 

Medium sounds — clinking of bri’s dog’s collar, typing of Sfab rep computers. 

Closest sounds — me adjusting in my chair, people talking behind me, professors answering questions, ice shifting in my plastic dunkin cup. 

Sound level – mostly silent on the background noise except for the occasional shifting of people in audience or on stage. Focused in on the conversation and dialogue happening. 

One word – productive 

Most important sounds – the professors speaking, audience members speaking, typing of SFAB computers.
