Brief 15 – Due 16/02 at 09:59:59am GMT
There’s so much noise in the world it just makes you want to scream – but then… all you’ll be doing is just adding more noise! So how is that helpful?
If you live in a city – you have all the city noises.
If you live in the country – you have noises from nature.
So the challenge today is to help those suffering from Misophonia… write something without any sound whatsoever. Not just without dialogue – but actually soundless. No foot steps… no breathing… no nothing! Complete and utter silence!
Is that possible?
Hmm… sounds a bit too simple… and we’re already so advanced! So let’s add another layer to it- what’s the loudest form of theatre?
Hmm…
A pantomime!!!
Now, for those of you not from the Commonwealth, who are rightfully confused as to how a pantomime, an art form that is famously silent, can be the loudest form of performance…
“A pantomime (often shortened to Panto) is a musical-comedy family-orientated theatrical production traditionally performed in United Kingdom at Christmas-time. The panto often features slapstick or messy comedy routines, children dancing, recent songs, spectacular sets and colourful costumes, and is often themed around a fairy story or nursery rhymes.”(http://www.theatrecrafts.com/pages/home/topics/forms-of-theatre/)
No bonus points today… I think this is challenging enough…
