Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1- 3.12.13, 11:05am, 011 Davison Hall

2- Footsteps echo down the hall and above us; the occasional voice is heard, muffled through the door

3- The door opens when a student enters, but other than that, this area is silent.

4- Someone taps lightly on their desk; once in a while a person will shift in their chair creating a light swooshing noise; sometimes I can hear the breathing of the people around me as they take a deeper breath or sigh; the person next to me emits the tin-y beat from their headphones

5- The general sound level and activity is low. It seems as though we are sitting with baited breath – class begins in five minutes

6- Waiting

7- The echoing footsteps, breathing, the tin-y sound from someones’ earphones
