[NEohioPAL] Richard Ingraham to teach a Sound Professional Development Workshop at USITT in Houston

[Richard B. Ingraham]

I know that this is not a very local happening, but I thought some in
the area might be interested to know about it, and maybe even some in
the NEO area might want to attend.

Anyway, the official description is below, and if anyone would like more
info please feel free to email me or use the contact info at the bottom
of the announcement.

Thanks,

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. The PDW with a
fee of just $125 per person (for USITT members) is the least expensive
PDW available for 2008 Conference.
 
>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. More information about this and other Professional
Development Workshops along with registration materials may be found at

workshop will be posted as available on the Sound Commission website at
http://www.usitt.org/commissions/sound/Sound.html, and interested
parties may contact Chuck Hatcher, Sound Commission Vice Commissioner
for PDW's at hatchece at ucmail.uc.edu.
