The aural sense is a powerful component of the theatrical experience.

Sound and music can help create an immersive environment to deepen the visceral impact of a performance.

Today we discuss a few ways to think about and integrate sound and music into the creative process and product.

Whether you’re choreographing a song and dance routine, creating an atmospheric soundscape, orchestrating a live soundtrack of breath and guttural expression, or setting poignant sound cues, developing the awareness of how choices affect the audience can help enrich any production.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn About:

• Using music to reinforce or juxtapose moments on stage
