Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

Journal Entry 1

1. 2/8, 6:26PM, my living room
2. Farthest away from me: the sound of the refrigerator running, footsteps in the hallway
3. Medium range: My housemate sniffling and pouring her drink
4. Closest to me: The sound of the fan in my laptop, my keyboard as I type, and the sound of my own breathing
5. It’s generally very quiet – everyone just got home from class and we’re passing around my phone putting in our Doordash orders so no one is really making much noise
6. One word: comfortable
7. 3 essential sounds: the sound of my breath, the footsteps, the refrigerator. These sounds together represent the idea of comfortable silence for me.
