Sound dramaturgy

It can be hard to know how to start with your sound design work.

I have developed a method for this.
To start with you should read the script.
Then you make a map over the events in the script.
This i what I call a “Sound map”.
On the picture below you can see what a sound map can look like.

Those maps are made over two performances.
“Lord of the flies” with premiere 2010 at the national theatre in Norway.
and “Knutby” that will have premiere at Hålogalad theatre in 2011.
