Staging Sound. Reflecting theatre music and sound design

This podcast accompanies the research project "The Sound of Theatre", supported by the Centre for Advances Studies at the University of Munich. We will explore questions around the current research in this field of study, we will have conversations with artists and discussions about performances, and we will record presentations and papers that come out of our various cooperations.
The format, length and frequency of this podcast will vary, but we hope that all episodes will be interesting, engaging and relevant for all those interested in the wide range of interplays between theatre, music, sound, voice, acoustic and technolgy: whether you are a student, a scholar, an artist or an audience member: Please subscribe and tune in!
