The Merging of Two Fine Arts: Sound Design for Anton Chekhov's Play The Seagull

Chad Alan Clasemann, College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University

Abstract

For the CSB/SJU Theater Department 1998 Fall production of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, I was the sound designer. This included at its heart 7 original songs written specifically for this play. I also operated the sound board for the run of the show. After the production, I wrote a reflection paper which analyzes the process of my work as well as the songs in detail. Also included is a CD containing all of the original music.
