Description
You dream up your plays. Long before they land on a stage, you see them unfolding before you, you hear them in your head. Sound and image are invaluable tools, as instrumental to the playwright as dialogue and character, responsible not just for the visceral texture of the layered, 3-dimensional world of your play but catalysts also for change, for movement, for meaning and emotional resonance.

In this workshop we will explore the realm of the stage direction sound and image as event and action both as literal blueprint for the staging of your play and as amazingly impossible jumping off point for your collaborators. We will parse the theatrical gestalt and narrative thrust of sound, approaching plays as music full of shifts and interruptions and the ghosts of the return. And we will explore the music inherent in the juxtaposition of images. We will also investigate the dramatic potential of song, as well as the presence of audio/visual technology on stage, embedded within your text, as a tool for propelling narrative, distance, and intimacy.
