[kcactf3] Sound Design PDW at USITT

[KCACTF III News and Information]

If this is appropriate to post here I would like to announce that we  
have more seats available in the following PDW.  Please e-mail  
Christopher Plummer at cplummer at mtu.edu if you have any questions.

On March 18th 2008 at the George R. Brown convention center in Houston  
Texas, the USITT Sound Commission will offer From Script to Stage:  
Sound Design for Drama; an exciting Professional Development Workshop  
presented as part of the 2008 USITT Annual Conference and Stage Expo.  
The daylong workshop will focus on the artistic and creative process  
of creating a sound design, as opposed to focusing on tools and/or  
technical issues. Richard B. Ingraham, freelance professional sound  
designer and Christopher Plummer, Assistant Professor of Sound Design  
at Michigan Tech have crafted a program which will include topics such  
as understanding the functions of sound in the theatre, defining the  
aural space and scale, shaping dramatic moments and defining a design  
structure.  Mr. Plummer and Mr. Ingraham, who bring extensive  
experience in both education and professional theatre to their task,  
will cover these topics through the use of play analysis, audio and  
written examples as well as aural experiments and training tools.
Both Professor Plummer and Mr. Ingraham have generously agreed to  
provide their services pro bono, which has allowed the commission to  
offer the PDW with a fee of just $125 per person (USITT members),  
making it the least expensive PDW available for 2008.
 From Script to Stage: Sound Design for Drama is ideal for students or  
recent grads who are in the early part of their careers or who might  
be attending schools that lack formal sound design training programs;  
teachers seeking new ways to teach sound design or who are developing  
curriculum; or professionals who must execute sound designs as part of  
their job but have not had the benefit of formal training in the  
discipline.

Workshops along with registration materials may be found at http://www.usitt.org/CaSE/PDWs.html

available on the Sound Commission website at http://www.usitt.org/commissions/sound/Sound.html

Vice Commissioner for PDW's at hatchece at ucmail.uc.edu.
