Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1. 04/20/2024 – 3:38pm – The Playhouse.
2. Sounds farthest away from me: dancers/crew members whispering to each other, crew members talking/responding in the distance, somebody coughing.
3. Sounds at medium range: the choreographer giving directions/counting followed by the dancers moving around on stage.
4. Sounds closest to me: typing on my computer, a dancer wrapping their ankle in tape next to me, the crew members near me occasionally adjusting themselves or moving items, a constant faint buzzing.
5. The general sound level is subdued but passionate. The amount of sound activity is very particular and arranged.
6. Description word: precise.
7. Essential sounds: counting/directing, stage movement, hushed whispers/humming.
