The Right of Way

This is an ethnodrama sourced almost entirely from interviews, transcripts, and media imagery. In 2017, the script was workshopped through regional partnerships with Theatre in the Square (Marietta, Georgia) and Forum Theatre (Washington, D.C.) and was sponsored by Virginia Tech's School of Performing Arts and the Institute for Creativity, Arts and Technology. Working with spatial audio engineer Tanner Upthegrove, we crafted an environmental sound design that could efficiently differentiate the various locations in the script.
