Hear Me Out

Created & Directed by Scott MacDonald
Sound System Design – Scott MacDonald

The Program Blurb:
– How can sound design augment the performance of spoken word poetry?
– In what ways can spoken word be a motivator or inspirational source for sound design concepts?
– What would a true integration of these two forms of storytelling and communication sound like?
Some sound designers and performers collaborated to tackle these questions, combine these elements, and hear what happens. We present to you several short stories, narratives, and points of view, both poetic and not. We hope you’ll hear us out.
