Without Words was a movement based retelling of the ancient Sanskrit myth of Rama and Sita. The project began with a masterclass on Rasaboxes, a form of emotional embodiment based on an ancient Indian performance theory text, the Natyashastra, and culminated in a twenty minute piece devised over the course of a week. My role as sound designer proved pivotal towards rehearsals, as the scenes relied heavily on the music we selected and how each song was cut, looped, and spliced together. I attended every rehearsal and was editing sound files on the fly to accommodate the changes to songs requested by the performers. I felt very involved in the devising process, as I pitched suggestions for the songs themselves as well as ways to make the music work for what movements the performers prepared. The performance itself was bookended by a prologue and an epilogue that each featured timed narration, so I had to segment and play each set of lines at the correct times in the QLab software to time the narration to the movement. It was very fun to be in such a face paced production and brought my collaboration and audio editing skills to the foreground.
