Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London
Sound Design and Production
Course Summary
Develop the art of creating and controlling the total sonic environment of live performance - one of the most rapidly evolving of the theatre disciplines. This practical course focuses on theatre sound and music, and sees students learn through working on realised projects. Students work with state-of-the-art equipment and software, acquiring core technical and theoretical understandings that will carry forward into their career. Performance technologies, including computer-based show control, audio recording, waveform editing, digital mixing and audio networking, are used throughout the course. For students interested in composition, Central’s Sound Design Laboratories will allow experimentation with a variety of sound generation and sequencing software. Students will also be able to work with machine interoperability and the aesthetic relationships between sound and light design. Throughout the course students learn technical, communication, group-work and problem solving skills by working as part of a collaborative company of performance-makers. This course leads to the qualification of BA (Hons) Theatre Practice.
