Over the next weeks, proceedings of the conference "Theatre Sound (as) Collaboration" (13-15 Sept, Munich) will be published as podcast episodes. This week, you can hear part 1 of the opening session of the conference with a talk from SK Shlomo.

In this episode I talk to the composer David Rimsky-Korsakow about his path to becoming a theatre musician and a three-day workshop he gave in Munich as part of the "Theatre Sound" project, which was hosted by the Center for Advanced Studies (LMU Munich), The workshop was realized in collaboration with the theatre department at LMU Munch and the Theaterakademie August Everding, to whom I owe huge thanks!

in this episode, David talks to Anna Ricke about her research on sound and music in Gothic Plays and Melodrama and to Julia H. Schröder on historical handbooks on magic performances and what they reveal about the significance of sound effects on/off stage.

In this episode David talks to two artist/scholars, who create and research sound-led forms of performance: Julie Rose Bower and Yaron Shyldkrot. The conversation addresses their creative work, aspects of theatre in the dark, Foley work, sound as touch, ASMR, and the ethics of sound design.

In this episode, Millie Taylor and David Roesner talk to Konstantinos Thomaidis about his research and creative practice in connection with Mikhail Marmarinos' production of Sophocles' ICHNEUTAI (Trackers) in 2021.

in this episode, we will focus on the connection of memory and sound, with a particular focus also on what role voice plays in the construction of a shared past We will touch on questions of identity, community, and performance in relation to things past and potentially lost.

In this episode, Bella Merlin and David Roesner reflect on their transatlantic collaborations on the one-woman show "Tilly No-Body: Catastrophes of Love" (Davis (CA), 2010), "Singing the Document" (Munich 2016) and "20:20 Vision" (LA/Online, 2020/2021). In all three the sought to mix music, sound, and storytelling with techniques from verbatim theatre. In all three they produced both creative and research outcomes, seeking to develop new forms of disseminating their results and findings.

A conversation with Maaike Bleeker, Vânia Gala, Seda Ilter, Silvija Jestrovic, Lynne Kendrick, Flora Pitrolo and the author: Duška Radosavljević

During the global pandemic theatre-making and research practices drew particular attention to aurality. From the relocation of ‘live’ performance into ‘audio’ art, to the conscious ‘tuning in’ to the sound of online theatre – audiences and researchers alike re-engaged with the possibilities of sound and listening in theatre production. The concomitant reconfiguring of listening as a part of the methodology of making and research was, in turn, also inspired by new sound-led theatre practices that emerged in response to the contemporary moment. Focusing on UK examples of works that responded to the sonic possibilities of theatre during the pandemic, i.e. Darkfield and Sylvia Mercuriali, and research practices, including the website Auralia.space, this discussion with Duška Radosavljević and Lynne Kendrick will focus on the opportunities that approaches to aurality can present in the face of a global crisis of health, of sociality, and of the arts.
